Handyman & maintenance This room had little ventilation, a large wall section with no damp prevention, black spot mold on walls, skirting and furniture. The walls were sealed with damp membrane, leveled, battened, insulated and lined. New plaster & paint. Minor electrical relocation's and plumbing alterations for the radiators. All bled and boiler tested, additional vents fitted to windows before signing off by the client.

Studwork and plaster Partition walling and studwork to divide up rooms or extension works, replace old damaged surfaces or easy way to renovate poor plaster and rendered walls.	Gyproc repairs Most people have had one of these happen at some time, a hole in the plasterboard, these can be patched and plastered hiding all evidence rather than replacement of the panel.	Damp solutions Damp ingress can be from cold surfaces, lack of ventilation, failed damp course, leaks from the roof structure or guttering plus more, ask us for free advice on your worries.
Damp & leak repairs Damp penetrated from a flat above and through an old vent. The render had turned to dust under the multiple layers of plaster from numerous repairs. The source of the leak was identified and the damage removed then repaired.	Crack repairs Mortar, cement, brick and block cracks if just filled will no doubt come back soon enough leaving crack lines through your freshly painted wall. Use of modern epoxy resin filler injection systems form a chemical bond often stronger than the cement substrate itself. These are more difficult to use than polyester resins but polyester is not a structural remedy and only to be used on cosmetic cracks.	Free damp testing & advice If you have concerns over damp ingress then call us for free advice and a test if you wish. Often advice is better given after an onsite inspection as the root cause can be from a range of sources.
Air bricks/ventilation Old air bricks block up and have large openings allowing small vermin through, installation of stainless mesh air bricks prevent even small bugs but allow sufficient air flow for ventilation. Retro fitted air bricks provide condensation relief for rooms.	Crack stitching Wall crack stitching is a technique of mechanically creating a structural remedy for masonry cracks. Briefly described.. a horizontal cut is made widely across the mortar line, a special formulated compound is inserted. a reinforced steel bar in pressed into the compound and then pointed up with compound just shallow of the surface. Once dry the repair can be pointed with mortar or render to hide the repair.
