Repointing and pre-insulation repairs for Wolverhampton properties
If your property is in Wolverhampton or the WV1 district or nearby Wednesfield, Willenhall and Tipton, it is within our West Midlands coverage. It is about 12 miles north-west of Birmingham.
If your Wolverhampton installation has a guarantee, we check it first; the guarantee route may cover the work. Defects such as failed pointing, leaking gutters and bridged damp-proof courses are listed and priced separately for Wolverhampton properties, so you can choose who fixes them.
Wind-driven rain is the first thing the surveyor weighs up. 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.
For regulations, if cavity wall insulation follows in Wolverhampton, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
Rules in England

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.
