What we check on a property in Brownshill Green
Every quote starts with a survey. These are the things we look at on building work in Brownshill Green, and why each one changes the recommendation.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Existing insulation
What is there, where, and whether it is creating a cold-bridge or condensation risk. If walls or floors are being opened anyway, that is the cheapest moment to improve it.
Simple, transparent, no pressure

Speak to us today0786 5778332How far is Brownshill Green from your base?
Brownshill Green is roughly 2.9 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.
Is Brownshill Green inside your normal service area?
Yes, and so is everything immediately around it: Allesley (about 1.1 miles away), Keresley (about 1.3 miles away), Allesley Green (about 1.4 miles away) and Coundon (about 1.5 miles away). We cover the whole of Coventry, so there is no travel charge for any of them and no minimum job value.
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 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.
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.
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.
