Rendering
Re-rendering, crack and blown-render repair, and insulated render where warmth is the priority.

What we check on a property in Longford
Every quote starts with a survey. These are the things we look at on property maintenance work in Longford, and why each one changes the recommendation.
Drainage and gullies
Blocked gullies, broken covers and downpipes discharging onto the ground beside a wall. Small, cheap and frequently the actual cause of a damp wall.
What is urgent versus what can wait
The survey produces a ranked list, not an undifferentiated one. Anything letting water in goes first; cosmetic work goes last, and we say so plainly.
Previous repairs and their condition
What has been done before, how well, and whether the cause was addressed. Repairs that have failed again are the clearest sign of a problem never properly diagnosed.
Gutters and where the water goes
Whether gutters are clear, falling correctly and discharging into something that works. More damp traces back to a gutter than to anything else we look at.
Ground levels against the damp-proof course
Soil, paving and debris creeping up above the damp-proof course is one of the most common and most fixable causes of damp in older property.
The roof, from the ground up
Slipped or missing tiles, ridge mortar, flashings and the line of the roof. Most whole-property problems start here, and most of them are visible before they become expensive.

Still have a question? Our local team is happy to help — no pressure, no jargon.
Speak to us today0786 5778332Is Longford inside your normal service area?
Yes, and so is everything immediately around it: Exhall (about 0.9 miles away), Little Heath (about 0.9 miles away), Holbrooks (about 1.1 miles away) and Foleshill (about 1.3 miles away). We cover the whole of Coventry, so there is no travel charge for any of them and no minimum job value.
Have you worked around Salem Baptist Church?
Salem Baptist Church is in the part of Longford we cover, and property maintenance 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.
What are a landlord's main maintenance obligations?
In England, an EICR at least every five years and at the start of a new tenancy, an annual gas safety check by a Gas Safe registered engineer, smoke alarms on every storey and carbon monoxide alarms in rooms with a fixed combustion appliance, and the property must be fit for human habitation throughout the tenancy. The fitness duty is the broad one and it covers damp, disrepair and structural problems rather than a checklist.
How do you prioritise work when a property needs a lot doing?
Water first, always. Anything letting water into the building gets dealt with before anything else, because it is actively causing damage and everything else gets worse while it continues. Then structure and safety, then fabric that is deteriorating, then cosmetic work. A prioritised list with costs is more useful than one large number, and it is what we will give you.
Do you charge for a survey or a quote?
No. Surveys and quotes are free and there is no obligation. What we will not do is price a job over the phone from a description, because the thing that changes the price is nearly always something you only find by looking — the state of the timber, what is behind the render, where the water is actually coming from.
Are you insured?
Yes, we carry public liability insurance and are happy to provide the certificate before work starts — it is a reasonable thing to ask for and you should ask it of anyone working on your property. We would also suggest checking it covers the type and value of work being carried out, not just that it exists.
Can you give a fixed price?
For most work, yes — a fixed written quote after a survey. The exceptions are jobs where the scope genuinely cannot be known until something is opened up, such as rot behind a fascia or the state of foundations. There we price what we can see and set out clearly what the variation would be, rather than giving a low number and revising it later.
