General Building Repairs
Repair work on the fabric: brickwork, lintels, timber, render and the consequences of water finding a way in.

What we check on a property in Baginton
Every quote starts with a survey. These are the things we look at on building work in Baginton, and why each one changes the recommendation.
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.
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.
Lintels over openings
Older properties often have timber lintels, or none at all behind a rendered head. We check what is carrying each opening, because a failing lintel shows up as cracking that looks cosmetic until it is not.
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.
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.

Speak to us today0786 5778332Have you worked around Saint John The Baptist?
Saint John The Baptist is in the part of Baginton we cover, and building work there is routine for us. Every quote still starts with a survey of the actual property, because no two are the same even on one street.
What else is near Baginton that you cover?
Baginton sits next to Finham (about 1 mile away), Stivichall (about 1.1 miles away), Willenhall (about 1.6 miles away) and Cheylesmore (about 1.6 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.
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.
Can I take out a load-bearing wall?
Usually yes, with the right beam and the right support. The sequence matters: a structural engineer calculates the beam and the bearings, Building Control is notified, temporary propping goes in before anything is cut, and the padstones and beam go in before the props come out. Anyone offering to knock a structural wall out without calculations is a reason to stop the conversation.
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.
There are cracks in my wall. Should I be worried?
Most are not structural. Fine cracks at the junction of different materials, or above openings, are usually thermal or shrinkage movement. The ones that warrant investigation are diagonal or stepped, wider at one end, wider than about 3mm, visible inside and out in the same place, or growing. We will say honestly which category a crack falls into, and recommend an engineer where it genuinely needs one.
