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.
