Repointing and pre-insulation repairs for Llandrindod Wells properties
Llandrindod Wells sits in Powys, around 18 miles south of Newtown. We work across the LD1 district, including nearby Newtown and Brecon.
Defects such as failed pointing, leaking gutters and bridged damp-proof courses are listed and priced separately for Llandrindod Wells properties, so you can choose who fixes them. Where a Llandrindod Wells 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.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. Parts of Powys face some of the heaviest wind-driven rain in the UK, especially exposed coastal and upland sites. Here the survey is stricter: some walls suit only certain certified systems, and some should not be filled at all.
On the rules side, if cavity wall insulation follows in Llandrindod Wells, filling a cavity is notifiable work under the Building Regulations as they apply in Wales, usually self-certified through a competent person scheme.

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.
