HOME REPAIRS
Trusted Home Repair Specialists Solving Structural Issues
We support homeowners across the UK by diagnosing and repairing cracks, damp and structural concerns, explaining every step clearly so problems are resolved properly and confidently.
Professional Remedial Repairs for Lasting Home Protection
Most issues in a home begin quietly. A small crack around a window frame. A patch of discolouration near the skirting. A lingering damp smell. Areas that feel slightly uneven or cold. These signs often start small, but they grow steadily when left untreated.
"Our remedial work service is designed to diagnose these problems properly, explain them clearly and repair them with skilled, steady workmanship. Damp proofing. Crack repairs. Repointing. Structural patching. Water-damage correction. Each job handled with care, accuracy and clear communication."
Whether you have a minor repair or an issue that has developed over months or years, we make the process calm, predictable and well understood. The goal is simple — restore the integrity of your home and prevent the issue returning.
Why Remedial Work Matters
Homes settle over time. Materials expand and contract with weather. Moisture finds its way into small gaps. Bricks loosen. Plaster shifts. Even normal wear can become a problem when left too long.
Common issues we help with include:
Damp patches and moisture ingress
Cracks in walls, ceilings or around frames
Brickwork deterioration
Failed pointing
Water damage after leaks
Staining or discolouration
Loose or hollow plaster
Minor structural irregularities
These problems rarely fix themselves. Identifying the cause early prevents costly repairs later.
Effective remedial work starts with diagnosis, not assumptions. Many issues such as damp patches, cracking or uneven surfaces can look similar on the outside while having very different causes underneath. Our approach is to investigate carefully, identify what is driving the problem and explain the findings clearly, so repairs are targeted, sensible and built to last.
Our diagnostic process includes:
01
Careful inspection
We assess the area visually and physically, looking for patterns that indicate moisture movement, structural shifts or ageing materials.
02
Identifying the root cause
Cracks may be cosmetic, moisture-related or structural. Damp may be caused by leaks, failed seals, poor ventilation or rising moisture. We determine what is really happening.
03
Clear explanation
You are never left guessing. We explain what we see in practical, easy-to-understand language and outline the best way forward.
04
Repair plan
A clean surface ensures better adhesion and longer-lasting protection if sealing or coating is required.
05
Final inspection
We present a straightforward repair plan with honest guidance. If a repair is not urgent, we tell you. If preventative work would save future costs, we explain that too.
"Every remedial repair we carry out follows the same careful approach, from investigation through to restoration. We work steadily, use appropriate materials and ensure repaired areas blend naturally with the surrounding surfaces. The result is not only a home that looks right again, but one that feels secure, well maintained and protected against the issue returning."
How We Diagnose Remedial Issues
Stormdry® Damp Prevention — Long Term Protection for Masonry and Brickwork
Damp problems in homes often begin externally. Rain-driven moisture penetrates porous brickwork and masonry, gradually transferring water into internal walls. Over time, this can lead to damp patches, flaking paint, mould growth, salt staining and damage to internal finishes. Treating the symptoms inside the home without addressing moisture entry at the source often results in recurring issues.
Stormdry® is a specialist masonry protection system designed to help prevent damp by stopping rainwater from entering external walls in the first place. Unlike traditional damp treatments that focus on internal barriers or surface coatings, Stormdry® works externally by penetrating the masonry and forming a breathable, water-repellent barrier within the wall structure. This allows internal moisture vapour to escape while preventing further water absorption from rain.
When applied as part of a remedial assessment, Stormdry® helps reduce ongoing moisture ingress, supports drying of internal walls and protects masonry from future weather exposure. By addressing damp at its external source, the system plays a valuable role in long-term damp prevention, helping homes remain drier, healthier and structurally sound without altering the appearance of the property.
“Stormdry® helps prevent damp by stopping rainwater penetration while allowing walls to breathe naturally, supporting long-term moisture control.”
Key benefits of Stormdry® for Damp Prevention and Remedial Work:
01
Prevents rain penetration into external walls
Stormdry® creates a deep, invisible barrier that stops rainwater soaking into masonry, reducing the primary cause of penetrating damp.
02
Supports drying of existing damp walls
By preventing further moisture ingress while maintaining breathability, treated walls are able to dry naturally over time.
03
Reduces internal damp symptoms
Limiting water transfer through walls helps reduce staining, mould growth, peeling finishes and moisture-related odours inside the home.
04
Protects masonry from long-term deterioration
Dry masonry is less prone to cracking, erosion, salt damage and freeze-thaw stress, supporting long-term structural integrity.
05
Complements other remedial repairs
Stormdry® works alongside crack repairs, repointing and surface restoration, helping remedial work remain effective for longer.
06
Maintains external appearance
Because the treatment is invisible, it preserves the original look of brickwork, stone or render while delivering effective protection.
“Used as part of a properly assessed remedial approach, Stormdry® helps address damp where it starts rather than where it shows. By reducing moisture penetration at the external wall, the system supports lasting repairs, healthier internal conditions and greater confidence that the issue has been resolved rather than temporarily covered. For homeowners, this means fewer repeat repairs, improved comfort and a calmer, more predictable outcome from remedial work.”
Our Remedial Repair Services
Remedial repairs require careful diagnosis, not guesswork. Many issues inside a home develop slowly and can be misinterpreted without proper assessment, leading to ineffective or short-term fixes. Our remedial repair services focus on identifying the true cause of the problem, explaining it clearly and carrying out repairs that restore stability, comfort and long-term performance to your home.
Damp Treatment and Moisture Repair
Damp is a common issue in UK homes and often develops quietly over time. We identify the source of moisture, treat affected areas properly and repair damaged surfaces to help prevent recurrence, restoring comfort and protecting the structure of the home long term.

Crack Repair and Surface Stabilising
Cracks can appear for many reasons, including settlement, moisture movement or ageing materials. We assess each crack carefully, repair cosmetic damage where appropriate and stabilise surfaces correctly to reduce the risk of further movement or deterioration over time.

Repointing and Brickwork Repair
Worn or damaged mortar allows moisture into walls and can weaken external structures. We repoint brickwork using materials suited to the age and design of the property, helping restore strength, weather resistance and a consistent external appearance.

Structural Patching and Reinforcement
Small structural defects, hollow plaster and weakened sections can compromise stability if ignored. Our structural patching restores integrity using careful, experienced techniques that reinforce surfaces properly while avoiding unnecessary disruption to the home.
Water Damage Assessment and Repair
Leaks and water ingress often leave behind hidden damage beyond surface marks. We dry, treat and repair affected areas thoroughly, ensuring surfaces are restored correctly so the home feels dry, secure and comfortable again.

Surface Restoration and Final Finishes
After remedial repairs, surfaces need careful restoration to blend seamlessly with surrounding areas. We finish repairs smoothly and consistently so walls and ceilings look natural, uniform and well cared for throughout the home.
