Repointing and pre-insulation repairs for Stourport-on-Severn properties
Stourport-on-Severn sits in Worcestershire, around 11 miles north of Worcester. We work across the DY13 district, including nearby Kidderminster, Droitwich and Bromsgrove.
Damp in an insulated Stourport-on-Severn home is not always the insulation's fault, so the diagnosis comes before any extraction. Where a Stourport-on-Severn 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.
Every elevation is judged on its own exposure. Worcestershire 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 Stourport-on-Severn, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.

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.
