REPAIRS & MAINTENANCE

Repairs and maintenance — surveyed, specified, delivered.

Roofs, external fabric, water ingress repairs and planned maintenance for commercial and public buildings.

A repair priced without a specification is a repair priced on guesswork — and every contractor will guess differently. I survey the building, specify exactly what it needs, and contractors price like-for-like. You compare real numbers, not sales pitches.

Covered here

  • Roof replacement & repair - Pitched re-covering, over-roofing and flat roof replacement — including where planning permission and Building Regulations approval are required.

  • Water ingress repairs - Leaks diagnosed at the cause, then the repair designed, specified and managed — including making good internally.

  • External fabric - Cladding, render, brickwork, windows, rainwater goods and external decorations — one-off repairs or schedules of work.

  • Planned maintenance - Condition surveys turned into costed, prioritised maintenance programmes — so the budget goes where the building needs it.

How the job runs

01 Survey and diagnosis

What has failed, why, and what it genuinely needs — not what's easiest to sell.

02 Specification and drawings

A written specification contractors can price against, like-for-like.

03 Permissions

Planning and Building Regulations approval where the works require them.

04 Tender and works

Competitive prices from contractors, then the works inspected and certified on site.
