What we check on a property in Exhall
Every quote starts with a survey. These are the things we look at on building work in Exhall, and why each one changes the recommendation.
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.
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.
Brick type and availability of matches
Where bricks need replacing we identify the type and check whether a match is obtainable, new or reclaimed. It decides whether a repair blends in or always shows.
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.
Wall construction: solid or cavity
Solid and cavity walls behave completely differently for damp, insulation and fixings. Establishing which one we are dealing with, and whether a cavity is clear or filled, changes nearly every recommendation.

Speak to us today0786 5778332Which part of Exhall do you cover?
All of it — the streets around Gurdwara Dhan Dhan Baba Vadbhag Singh Ji 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.
How quickly can you get to Exhall?
Quickly — it is about 4 miles north of the city centre. Short distances are the main reason we can offer same-week surveys and come back promptly if something needs a second look.
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.
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.
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.
