What we check on a property in Allesley
Every quote starts with a survey. These are the things we look at on building work in Allesley, and why each one changes the recommendation.
Services routes
We trace gas, water and electrical runs before cutting into anything. Unexpected services inside a wall are one of the most common causes of a job stopping unexpectedly.
Ground levels around the building
Soil and paving should sit well below the damp-proof course. Where levels have crept up over the years, lowering them is often cheaper and more effective than any damp treatment.
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.
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.
Previous alterations
Most older houses have been altered at least once, not always well. We look for removed walls without adequate support, blocked-up openings and makeshift structure, because those are what turn a simple job complicated.
Drainage and where water goes
We check gullies, downpipe connections and whether surface water is being taken away from the building or soaking in beside the foundations. A lot of external damp traces back to a single broken gully.
Simple, transparent, no pressure

Speak to us today0786 5778332How far is Allesley from your base?
Allesley is roughly 2.5 miles north-west of Coventry city centre. That is close enough that a survey can normally be arranged within a few days, and close enough that coming back afterwards is never a problem.
What else is near Allesley that you cover?
Allesley sits next to Allesley Green (about 0.5 miles away), Mount Nod (about 0.9 miles away), Brownshill Green (about 1.1 miles away) and Eastern Green (about 1.2 miles away). We work across the whole of that cluster, which is part of why we can usually get to a survey quickly — we are often already nearby.
How do you protect the rest of the house while working?
Dust sheeting and protection on floors and routes in and out, temporary screens where we are opening up, and dust extraction on cutting work. It never makes a building site pleasant to live in, but it is the difference between confined disruption and a house that needs redecorating throughout afterwards.
Is it cheaper to renovate or to extend?
Renovating existing space is almost always cheaper per square metre than adding new, because there is no foundation, no new roof and usually no planning. Extending wins when you genuinely need more space rather than better space. The useful question at survey is which of those two you actually have, and it is worth answering honestly before any design work starts.
How long does building work take?
Honestly, longer than most people expect, and the variable is rarely the building. Drawings, calculations, approvals and lead times on materials routinely take as long as the work. We give a programme with the quote that includes those stages rather than just the time on site, because a date that only counts the building part is not a date anyone can plan around.
What happens if you find something unexpected once work starts?
We stop, show you, and price it before carrying on. Older buildings routinely hide previous alterations, missing lintels, patched-up structure and rot behind plaster. What matters is that the variation is agreed in writing before it is done, not added to an invoice afterwards. We would rather have an awkward conversation on day three than at the end.
How much do builders cost in Allesley?
