What we handle

Exterior building work with attention to weathering and finish

  • Weathering details around walls, roofs, openings and extensions.
  • Brickwork, pointing, render, making good and exterior finishing support.
  • Tidy site practice and clear advice on practical priorities.

Roofing and weathering details

Where a roof meets a wall, an extension or a chimney, the weathering has to be right or water finds its way in. On extension and alteration projects in particular, the flashings, verges, junctions and abutments are detailed carefully so the new work sheds water properly and ties into the existing roof.

Brickwork, pointing and render

The face of a property takes the brunt of the weather. Eroded pointing, damaged brickwork and cracked or blown render let damp in and make a home look tired. Repointing, brick repairs and render making good are matched to the existing finish so the repair blends in rather than standing out.

Rainwater goods and exterior repairs

Gutters, downpipes and the way water is taken away from the building are easy to overlook until they cause a problem. Sorting failed or poorly aligned rainwater goods, along with the exterior repairs around them, protects the walls and foundations from avoidable damp.

Common questions

Roofing and exterior work questions

Practical answers for weathering, exterior repairs and outside building details.

What exterior work can you help with?

Exterior work can include practical roofing preparation, brickwork, pointing, render, making good, weathering details, rainwater goods, and exterior repairs and improvements around openings or extensions.

Why do weathering details matter?

Small exterior gaps, poor junctions or unfinished edges can let water into the building. The work is approached with attention to how roofs, walls, openings and rainwater goods meet, which is what keeps the property dry.

Can I send photos of an exterior problem first?

Yes. Photos are useful, especially from ground level and closer to the affected area. Include any access issues so the job can be assessed sensibly before a visit.

Do you repoint and repair render?

Yes. Repointing eroded or failed joints and repairing cracked or blown render are common exterior jobs, matched to the existing finish so the repair sits in rather than standing out.
