Working in Upper Eastern Green
Upper Eastern Green is the northern part of Eastern Green, west of the city in the CV5 postcode district, near the Allesley and Mount Nod boundaries.
It is mostly post-war and later housing, so the common jobs are roofline replacement, flat-roof extensions and garages reaching the end of their life, and driveways that were laid before the surfacing rules changed.
Eastern Green, Lower Eastern Green and Mount Nod are all covered too.

What we check on a property in Upper Eastern Green
Every quote starts with a survey. These are the things we look at on building work in Upper Eastern Green, and why each one changes the recommendation.
Floor construction
Suspended timber, solid concrete or a mixture changes how we deal with damp, insulation and levels. We check airbricks and ventilation under suspended floors, since blocked ones cause rot.
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.
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.
Damp-proof course position and bridging
We find the damp-proof course and check whether raised ground, a new path, render or debris in the cavity is bridging it. That single detail explains a great deal of the damp we are called to look at.
Condition of the existing finishes
Whether plaster is sound, blown or on lath changes the scope considerably. Blown plaster on a damp wall has to come off regardless of how good it looks from across the room.
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.

Speak to us today0786 5778332Have you worked around Eastern Green Junior School?
Eastern Green Junior School is in the part of Upper Eastern Green we cover, and building work there is routine for us. Every quote still starts with a survey of the actual property, because no two are the same even on one street.
Is Upper Eastern Green in your coverage?
It is. Upper Eastern Green sits in the CV5 district and we work there regularly. Give us the full postcode when you call and we can be specific about survey dates.
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.
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.
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 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.
