Repointing and pre-insulation repairs for Wigston Magna properties
Wigston Magna sits in Leicestershire, about 4 miles south-east of Leicester. We work across the LE18 district, including nearby Oadby, Leicester and Hinckley.
Defects such as failed pointing, leaking gutters and bridged damp-proof courses are listed and priced separately for Wigston Magna properties, so you can choose who fixes them. If your Wigston Magna installation has a guarantee, we check it first; the guarantee route may cover the work.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. Much of Leicestershire sits in the more sheltered driving-rain zones of the UK, which widens the choice of fill. Exposed elevations, coastal sites and high ground still get checked wall by wall.
On the rules side, if cavity wall insulation follows in Wigston Magna, 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.
