Repointing and pre-insulation repairs across the West Midlands
We cover 17 towns in the West Midlands, including Birmingham, Coventry, Wolverhampton, Dudley, Walsall and more.
Local weather affects which walls can be filled. The West Midlands 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.
Defects such as failed pointing, leaking gutters and bridged damp-proof courses are listed and priced separately for West Midlands properties, so you can choose who fixes them. We never cold-call in the West Midlands or anywhere else, and we do not work with doorstep claims companies.
Building Regulations in England
Filling an existing cavity wall is notifiable building work in England. Either a building notice goes to building control before the work, or the installer self-certifies it through a government-approved competent person scheme such as CIGA's CWISC scheme. The insulation used must also be suitable for the wall it goes into, which is why the survey checks construction, condition and exposure first.

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.
