Repairs that cannot be put off
Small problems become bigger ones when they are left. A cracked render lets water in, a loose step becomes a trip hazard, and a damp patch spreads. We help homeowners, landlords and businesses deal with building repairs properly, with a practical approach and attention to long-term results.
Typical repair and maintenance work
- Damaged walls, cracks, and loose or blown plaster
- Brickwork repairs and repointing
- External render repairs
- Rotten or damaged timber, door frames, sills and floorboards
- Internal doors, skirting and fittings that need repairing or replacing
- Making good after leaks, and repairs after damage
- Small alterations, such as forming or blocking up openings
- Getting a property ready for sale, letting or a new tenant

For landlords and letting agents
Rental properties need repairs carried out promptly and to a good standard, often with tenants still living there. We can deal with one-off repairs, work between tenancies and planned maintenance across a portfolio, with clear communication so you know what has been done.
For businesses and commercial premises
Shops, offices, workshops and other premises need to stay safe, presentable and open. We carry out repairs and maintenance on commercial buildings and can plan work around your opening hours where that is practical. For larger projects, see commercial refurbishment.
Older Tyneside property
Much of Newcastle and the coast is made up of Victorian and Edwardian terraces and Tyneside flats. These buildings are solid, but they suffer from familiar problems: worn pointing, failed render, damp around old walls and chimneys, and timber that has been neglected. Our article on common building repairs for older Newcastle properties explains the usual culprits.
Some specialist work, such as gas, electrics and roofing, is carried out by appropriately qualified trades. We will be clear about what we do ourselves and what is arranged with others.
