What we check on a property in Binley Woods
Every quote starts with a survey. These are the things we look at on building work in Binley Woods, and why each one changes the recommendation.
What is actually holding the structure up
Before any wall comes out we establish what bears on it: joists, a wall above, the roof, or a combination. That determines the beam, the bearings and the propping, and it is not something to work out once the plaster is off.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Speak to us today0786 5778332What else is near Binley Woods that you cover?
Binley Woods sits next to Binley (about 1.1 miles away), Willenhall (about 2 miles away), Stoke Aldermoor (about 2.3 miles away) and Wyken (about 2.4 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.
Which part of Binley Woods do you cover?
All of it — the streets around The Church in Binley Woods 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 I need Building Regulations approval for building work?
For structural alterations, new openings, underpinning, drainage work, new heating and most extensions, yes — it is separate from planning permission and applies even where planning is not needed. Straightforward repair and redecoration does not need it. We will tell you which applies and work with your Building Control body, and we would rather a job be notified than quietly not.
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.
How do you deal with damp?
By finding out which kind it is, because the three have nothing in common. Penetrating damp comes through the fabric and is fixed by repairing the fabric. Condensation is a heating and ventilation problem. Rising damp is far rarer than the industry implies and needs the damp-proof course checked, along with raised ground levels and bridging. Injecting a chemical course into a wall suffering penetrating damp achieves nothing.
What preparation is worth doing before selling a property?
The things a survey will pick up, because those become price reductions. Repointing where joints have failed, clearing and repairing gutters, dealing with visible damp and its cause, making the roofline sound, and fixing anything obviously structural. Cosmetic work photographs well but a buyer's surveyor is looking at the fabric.
