What we check on a property in Allesley Green
Every quote starts with a survey. These are the things we look at on building work in Allesley Green, and why each one changes the recommendation.
Floor construction
Suspended timber, solid concrete or a mixture changes how we deal with damp, insulation and levels. We check airbricks and ventilation under suspended floors, since blocked ones cause rot.
What can wait
Part of the survey is saying which items are urgent and which are not. We would rather hand over a prioritised list than quote for everything at once and have the important work deferred on cost.
Mortar type and condition
We check whether the existing mortar is lime or cement and how deeply it has failed. Repointing an old wall in the wrong mix damages the brick, so identifying what is there comes before pricing the work.
Access for materials and waste
Whether there is side access, where a skip can stand and how far materials have to be carried all affect the programme and the price. It is better settled at survey than discovered on day one.
Whether Building Control is engaged
We establish at the outset whether the work is notifiable and who the Building Control body will be, so inspections are built into the programme rather than chased at the end.
Party wall implications
On terraces and semis we identify early whether the work engages the Party Wall Act, because notice periods are measured in weeks and are not something to discover once the start date is agreed.

Speak to us today0786 5778332Which areas near Allesley Green do you also cover?
The closest are Allesley (about 0.5 miles away), Mount Nod (about 0.6 miles away), Eastern Green (about 0.7 miles away) and Bannerbrook Park (about 1.3 miles away). All of them are inside our normal working area, so a property on the boundary is no different to one in the middle of Allesley Green. If you are unsure which area you count as, the postcode settles it.
Which part of Allesley Green do you cover?
All of it — the streets around Park Hill Primary School included. Where a property sits matters less to us than what the access is like, which is something we look at on the survey rather than guessing from an address.
Do you do commercial and landlord work?
Yes. We work for landlords, letting agents and commercial clients, and we are used to working around tenants and trading hours. For portfolios we can report on condition with photographs and rank work by urgency, which makes it possible to stage spending across budget years rather than doing everything at once.
What is spalling brickwork, and can it be repaired?
Spalling is when the face of a brick blows off, usually because water got in and froze, or because an impermeable pointing or coating trapped moisture. Isolated bricks can be cut out and replaced with a match. Where a whole elevation has gone, the realistic options are brick slips, a sympathetic render, or accepting the appearance. Either way the cause has to be dealt with first.
What is the Party Wall Act and does it affect me?
It applies when you cut into, build on or excavate near a shared wall or boundary with a neighbour, which covers a lot of terraced and semi-detached work. You serve notice on the neighbour in advance; if they consent, the job proceeds, and if they do not, surveyors agree an award. It is a legal process and not something a builder can waive, so it belongs in the programme from the start.
What does repointing actually involve?
Raking out the failed mortar to a sound depth — roughly twice the joint width — then repointing in a mix suited to the brick, and finishing the joint to match. Done properly it is slow work. The common failure is grinding joints out with an angle grinder, which widens them and damages brick arrises, and then filling with a hard cement mix the bricks cannot cope with.
