Building repairs, inside and out
Buildings age from the outside in. Open joints and cracked render let water through, and by the time it shows inside the repair has grown. We deal with the fabric of the building before it reaches that stage.
What we repair
- Repointing brick and stone
- Brickwork and blockwork repairs
- Rebuilding garden and boundary walls
- Lintels and window surrounds
- Render patches
- Internal walls and partitions
- Conversions and small extensions
Finished and left clean
“The work carried out to remove old wall and rebuild a new stone wall was of the highest quality of workmanship and the area was left tidy and clean.”
“Scaffold arrived when stated, pleased with standard of work.”
“The works were well managed and workers were friendly but professional. … Always kept us informed of the progress, and they checked with us, and building control, first if minor changes as a result of unforeseen site conditions were needed.”
Building work is one of the services IKE Supported Housing list in their reference letter.
Quoted first, kept informed
Anything bigger than a small repair gets a written quote first. If the building turns up a surprise once work starts, we tell you what it is and what it changes before we carry on.
Cracks and damp
Cracks and wet walls can be small faults or a sign of something bigger. If we think it needs a structural engineer, we say so before doing anything that would hide it. Damp walls are covered on our damp and mould page.
Where we work
We take on general building repairs across County Durham, Teesside and Tyne and Wear, working from our base in Newton Aycliffe. See the towns we cover, or find out how we work.
What people ask first
Do you need scaffold for pointing?
Often above first floor. We will tell you what access is needed and include it in the price.
Do you deal with building control?
Where a job needs it, we will tell you and work with the inspector.
Do you do small repairs?
Yes. A few bricks or a patch of render is not too small to ring about.
How tall a building can you work on?
Our insurance covers buildings of up to four floors, counting any basement and attic. If yours is taller, tell us before we go any further.
