What we check on a property in Ansty
Every quote starts with a survey. These are the things we look at on building work in Ansty, and why each one changes the recommendation.
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.
Timber condition
Joist ends built into damp walls, rot at the eaves and woodworm in roof timbers all need finding before they are covered up again. We check where we can get access and say plainly where we cannot see.
Crack pattern, width and direction
We record where cracks run, how wide they are and whether they show inside and out. The pattern is what distinguishes thermal movement from something that needs an engineer.
Condition of the existing finishes
Whether plaster is sound, blown or on lath changes the scope considerably. Blown plaster on a damp wall has to come off regardless of how good it looks from across the room.
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.
Roof and gutters
Even on an internal job we look up. Most damp and masonry decay starts with water that should have been in a gutter, and there is no point repairing a wall that is still being soaked.

Speak to us today0786 5778332Which areas near Ansty do you also cover?
The closest are Walsgrave (about 1.5 miles away), Henley Green (about 2 miles away), Bell Green (about 2.5 miles away) and Wyken (about 2.5 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 Ansty. If you are unsure which area you count as, the postcode settles it.
Are you actually local to Ansty?
Yes. Ansty is around 4.6 miles north-east of the centre of Coventry, well within the area we work in every week. We are not a national firm subcontracting the job out.
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.
Can you underpin or deal with subsidence?
Subsidence is an insurance and engineering matter before it is a building one. The right sequence is monitoring and investigation to establish the cause — often drainage or a tree — then a remedial scheme designed by an engineer. We carry out designed remedial work, but we will not diagnose subsidence from a crack and we would be wary of anyone who does.
What is an RSJ and do I need one?
RSJ is the old name for the steel beam that carries the load once a wall below it is removed. Whether you need one, and what size, depends on what is above: floor joists, another wall, a roof, or all three. The size comes from an engineer, not from experience or a rule of thumb, and the certificate for it is part of what Building Control signs off.
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.
How much do builders cost in Ansty?
