What we check on a property in Henley Green
Every quote starts with a survey. These are the things we look at on building work in Henley Green, and why each one changes the recommendation.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Speak to us today0786 5778332Are you actually local to Henley Green?
Yes. Henley Green is around 2.6 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.
Do you work on properties near Castlewood School?
Yes. Castlewood School is one of the landmarks we use to describe where we work in Henley Green, and we take on building jobs throughout the surrounding streets. Access and parking get checked at survey, so the quote fits the property.
What happens if you find something unexpected once work starts?
We stop, show you, and price it before carrying on. Older buildings routinely hide previous alterations, missing lintels, patched-up structure and rot behind plaster. What matters is that the variation is agreed in writing before it is done, not added to an invoice afterwards. We would rather have an awkward conversation on day three than at the end.
What guarantees come with building work?
Workmanship is covered by us, and manufactured products carry their own manufacturer warranties, which we pass on. Structural work notified to Building Control gets a completion certificate, and that certificate is what a future buyer's solicitor asks for. Keep it with the deeds — it is worth more at resale than any paperwork we issue.
How long does building work take?
Honestly, longer than most people expect, and the variable is rarely the building. Drawings, calculations, approvals and lead times on materials routinely take as long as the work. We give a programme with the quote that includes those stages rather than just the time on site, because a date that only counts the building part is not a date anyone can plan around.
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 Henley Green?
As a guide, builders in Henley Green average around £24 per hour (typically £20 to £40), which works out at roughly £153 to £350 per day depending on the size of the firm. General building projects average about £8,593, with larger jobs commonly ranging from £4,600 to £14,700 depending on scope. Every project starts with a free, fixed written quote so you know the price before we begin.
