What we check on a property in Stivichall
Every quote starts with a survey. These are the things we look at on building work in Stivichall, and why each one changes the 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.
Access for materials and waste
Whether there is side access, where a skip can stand and how far materials have to be carried all affect the programme and the price. It is better settled at survey than discovered on day one.
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.
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 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.
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.

Speak to us today0786 5778332Are you actually local to Stivichall?
Yes. Stivichall is around 1.7 miles south of the centre of Coventry, well within the area we work in every week. We are not a national firm subcontracting the job out.
Is Stivichall inside your normal service area?
Yes, and so is everything immediately around it: Finham (about 0.4 miles away), Green Lane (about 0.7 miles away), Cheylesmore (about 0.8 miles away) and Baginton (about 1.1 miles away). We cover the whole of Coventry, so there is no travel charge for any of them and no minimum job value.
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 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.
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.
Will you work alongside my own trades?
Yes, and it is common on renovations where people already have an electrician or a plumber they trust. It needs sequencing agreed upfront so first fix does not get plastered over and nobody is standing waiting. We are happy to coordinate, but we are clear about where our responsibility ends when work is split.
How much do builders cost in Stivichall?
As a guide, builders in Stivichall 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.
