What we check on a property in Mount Nod
Every quote starts with a survey. These are the things we look at on building work in Mount Nod, and why each one changes the recommendation.
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.
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.
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.
Crack pattern, width and direction
We record where cracks run, how wide they are and whether they show inside and out. The pattern is what distinguishes thermal movement from something that needs an engineer.
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.
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.

Speak to us today0786 5778332Do you work on properties near Mount Nod Primary School?
Yes. Mount Nod Primary School is one of the landmarks we use to describe where we work in Mount Nod, and we take on building jobs throughout the surrounding streets. Access and parking get checked at survey, so the quote fits the property.
Do you only work in Mount Nod, or the surrounding streets too?
Both. Work in Mount Nod usually takes us into Allesley Green (about 0.6 miles away), Eastern Green (about 0.7 miles away), Tile Hill (about 0.8 miles away) and Allesley (about 0.9 miles away) as well, and we quote for all of them on the same terms. There is no boundary line that changes the price.
Do you do commercial and landlord work?
Yes. We work for landlords, letting agents and commercial clients, and we are used to working around tenants and trading hours. For portfolios we can report on condition with photographs and rank work by urgency, which makes it possible to stage spending across budget years rather than doing everything at once.
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.
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.
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.
