General Building

General Building planned around your property

Alongside roofing, Fix My Roof Ltd welcomes general building enquiries across Oxfordshire, Berkshire and surrounding areas. Discuss brickwork repairs, repointing and property maintenance with us so we can confirm the appropriate scope and availability for your project.

General building work should begin with a clear description of the defect or improvement, the age and construction of the property and any known access restrictions. Fix My Roof Ltd welcomes enquiries about brickwork repairs, repointing and general property maintenance alongside roofing. We discuss the proposed work before confirming whether it is within our scope and what further assessment is needed.

For masonry repairs, the materials and repair method should suit the existing wall. Deteriorated mortar, cracked bricks, damp and movement can have different causes, so repointing alone may not resolve the underlying problem. Structural movement or changes affecting load-bearing elements may require an engineer or other qualified professional. Any applicable planning permission, listed-building consent or building-regulation requirements should be established before work starts.

A written quotation should explain the repair area, materials, preparation, access, waste removal and finishing. Tell us about neighbouring boundaries and whether the property will remain occupied. If concealed damage is discovered, additional work and its cost should be discussed before proceeding rather than assumed to be included in the original repair.
