Repointing and pre-insulation repairs for Thornaby-on-Tees properties

Thornaby-on-Tees sits in County Durham, roughly 20 miles south-east of Durham. We work across the TS17 district, including nearby Stockton-on-Tees, Billingham and Darlington.

Where a Thornaby-on-Tees wall does need work, bricks are lifted and rebuilt in matching mortar, and the cavity is checked with a camera before it is closed up. Defects such as failed pointing, leaking gutters and bridged damp-proof courses are listed and priced separately for Thornaby-on-Tees properties, so you can choose who fixes them.

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.

For regulations, if cavity wall insulation follows in Thornaby-on-Tees, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
