Repointing and pre-insulation repairs for Tamworth properties
Tamworth is among the towns we cover in Staffordshire, alongside Lichfield, Burntwood and Burton upon Trent. It is about 33 miles south-east of Stoke-on-Trent.
Where a Tamworth 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. If your Tamworth installation has a guarantee, we check it first; the guarantee route may cover the work.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. 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.
On compliance, if cavity wall insulation follows in Tamworth, 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.
