Which rules apply in the East of England?

Social landlords are commercial clients under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015, so the full client duties apply. Where there is more than one contractor, the client appoints a principal designer and a principal contractor. A project must be notified to HSE if it lasts more than 30 working days with more than 20 workers on site at once, or exceeds 500 person-days.

What does it cost in the East of England?

We price brickwork, pointing and render repairs in the East of England after a survey rather than from a guide range, because the wall area, the mortar needed and access vary from building to building. Send us the details and we will arrange a visit.

How do we deliver it?

We match the repair to the wall. Lime mortar on soft older brick, compatible render systems and like-for-like bricks where they are visible.

Can you deal with structural cracking?

We carry out crack repairs to an engineer's design. If cracking suggests movement, we recommend an engineer before any work is priced.

Do you use lime mortar?

Where the wall needs it, yes, usually on older solid walls. Hard cement pointing on soft brick can trap moisture and damage the brick face.
