Which rules apply in the North East?

What does it cost in the North East?
We price brickwork, pointing and render repairs in the North East 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?
Where cracking may be structural, we say so plainly and recommend an engineer, instead of pricing a cosmetic repair that will not last.
Common questions
Which council areas in the North East do you cover for brickwork, pointing and render repairs?
All 12: County Durham, Darlington, Gateshead, Hartlepool, Middlesbrough, Newcastle upon Tyne, North Tyneside, Northumberland, Redcar and Cleveland, South Tyneside, Stockton-on-Tees, Sunderland.
Can you combine this with other scaffold work?
Yes. Fabric repairs are often programmed with roofing or external decoration to share access costs.
Will repointing cure damp?
It can, where failed pointing is letting rain in. We check for other causes as well, such as gutters, ground levels and bridged damp-proof courses.
