Repointing and pre-insulation repairs for Halesowen properties
If your property is in Halesowen or the B63 district or nearby Dudley, Stourbridge and Smethwick, it is within our West Midlands coverage. It is about 7 miles west of Birmingham.
Defects such as failed pointing, leaking gutters and bridged damp-proof courses are listed and priced separately for Halesowen properties, so you can choose who fixes them. We never cold-call in Halesowen or anywhere else, and we do not work with doorstep claims companies.
Exposure matters for every cavity wall. 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.
On compliance, if cavity wall insulation follows in Halesowen, 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.
