What we check on a property in Tile Hill
Every quote starts with a survey. These are the things we look at on building work in Tile Hill, 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.
Lintels over openings
Older properties often have timber lintels, or none at all behind a rendered head. We check what is carrying each opening, because a failing lintel shows up as cracking that looks cosmetic until it is not.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Building Services in Tile Hill — your questions answered
Still have a question? Our local team is happy to help — no pressure, no jargon.
Speak to us today0786 5778332Do you work on properties near Our Lady of the Assumption Catholic Primary School?
Yes. Our Lady of the Assumption Catholic Primary School is one of the landmarks we use to describe where we work in Tile Hill, 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 Tile Hill, or the surrounding streets too?
Both. Work in Tile Hill usually takes us into Canley (about 0.7 miles away), Mount Nod (about 0.8 miles away), Eastern Green (about 0.9 miles away) and Bannerbrook Park (about 1.1 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 handle drainage and groundworks?
Yes, as part of building work — foundations, drainage runs and connections, soakaways and external levels. Drainage is worth getting right early because it is the hardest thing to revisit once slabs and paving are down, and because incorrect falls or connections are something Building Control will pick up.
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.
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 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.
