Repointing and pre-insulation repairs for Stockton-on-Tees properties
We cover Stockton-on-Tees and the TS18 postcode district, including nearby Billingham, Thornaby-on-Tees and Hartlepool. It is about 17 miles south-east of Durham.
Defects such as failed pointing, leaking gutters and bridged damp-proof courses are listed and priced separately for Stockton-on-Tees properties, so you can choose who fixes them. If your Stockton-on-Tees installation has a guarantee, we check it first; the guarantee route may cover the work.
Every elevation is judged on its own exposure. County Durham has a mix of moderate and more exposed sites. Hilltop, coastal and west-facing walls take the brunt of wind-driven rain, so the survey records exposure for each elevation before a material is chosen.
On the rules side, if cavity wall insulation follows in Stockton-on-Tees, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.

Why repairs come first
Energy Saving Trust advice is to fix brickwork, pointing, roofs, gutters and downpipes before filling. A filled cavity is less forgiving of a wet outer leaf than an empty one, so we price repairs separately and you choose who carries them out.
