Repointing and pre-insulation repairs for Stoke-on-Trent properties
Stoke-on-Trent sits in Staffordshire. We work across the ST4 district, including nearby Newcastle under Lyme, Longton and Kidsgrove.
We never cold-call in Stoke-on-Trent or anywhere else, and we do not work with doorstep claims companies. Damp in an insulated Stoke-on-Trent home is not always the insulation's fault, so the diagnosis comes before any extraction.
Exposure matters for every cavity wall. Staffordshire 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.
As for paperwork, if cavity wall insulation follows in Stoke-on-Trent, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
Rules in England
Filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification if insulation work follows.

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.
