In addition to being your building maintenance specialists, we also trade as experienced loft insulation installers and insulation removal specialists.
Brighton and Hove are key service areas for our team.
Insulation Removal Specialists
Old, poorly installed insulation causes damp, mould and poor ventilation. As experienced insulation removal specialists, we safely remove ineffective or contaminated loft and cavity wall insulation. This is typically the first step in making Brighton and Hove properties more energy-efficient, which is just one of many reasons to begin a refurbishment or renovation in the first place.
Removing outdated materials ensures a building is prepared for the modern solutions we have available, especially before installing new insulation or starting restoration work. We always dispose of waste materials in line with environmental regulations, keeping the process clean and hassle-free.
Loft Insulation Installers
Proper loft insulation significantly reduces heat loss and as a trusted team of loft insulation installers for the Brighton and Hove areas, we can integrate a high-performance insulation into the loft space that meets current energy standards. If you plan to convert a loft as part of a refurbishment project or a renovation, this is a service that will provide added value for our customers.
We install breathable, fire-resistant materials that help to improve your home's comfort and reduce your heating costs. If you have removed old insulation or want to upgrade, we ensure your loft is insulated correctly from the outset.
Loft Space Boarding for Practical Storage
Unused loft space is often a missed opportunity. We install sturdy loft space boarding that provides safe and accessible storage without compressing insulation underneath. Again, in addition to refurbishment and renovation work, this is a core skillset we can also apply if you are about to have your loft converted as a project – be it in a dormer, mansard or hip-to-gable design
This service is ideal for homeowners in Brighton and Hove who are looking to maximise space following an insulation upgrade. We use raised boarding systems where required, maintaining good airflow and preventing heat loss.
Building Maintenance Services
Our building maintenance team in Brighton and Hove handles ongoing and one-off repair projects. Whether you are dealing with a structural problem or property damage, or if you want to schedule preventative maintenance, we provide an efficient solution. We have already supported a sizeable number of refurbishments and renovations to date, but are always looking for more.
We work with all homeowners, landlords and commercial property owners to maintain the integrity of buildings throughout the area. Services include roof checks, pointing repairs, guttering and internal refurbishment support.
Brick Repointing to Restore Masonry
Brick repointing involves renewing the mortar between bricks. Over time, it is worn or missing mortar that allows for water ingress, leading to dampness or structural issues. We offer a traditional brick repointing service that protects a building and improves its appearance. Our company also accommodates work at height and provides brick repointing for damaged chimney stacks.
In heritage areas of Brighton and Hove, we deliver careful, property-matched repointing that respects the character of older homes. All work is completed using durable materials to prevent any instances of future weather damage.
Lime Mortar Repointing for Period Properties
For older buildings, lime mortar repointing is essential. Unlike modern cement mortars, lime allows walls to breathe and this helps in managing any moisture naturally. We specialise in lime mortar repointing for all listed and traditional properties across Brighton and Hove. And, as you can see elsewhere on this website, we can also cover all locations in the surrounding East Sussex area.
This method is particularly suited to properties built before the 1920s and our team guarantees accurate colour and texture matching to maintain the building’s historic features – a critical consideration for all conservation work.
Cavity Wall Extraction for Better Wall Performance
Many homes in Brighton and Hove have cavity wall insulation installed that is damp or degraded. Our cavity wall extraction service removes this material safely and thoroughly. Instead of using general builders for work of this type, we believe it is better to place your trust into the hands of a genuine trade and industry specialist. This is the only way to guarantee the best results.
This service is often necessary before installing new insulation, repairing ties or addressing internal dampness problems. By removing your failed insulation, we help to restore proper ventilation and prevent long-term structural issues.
Cavity Wall Tie Replacement to Secure Structures
Wall ties hold the inner and outer walls of a cavity wall together. Whenever a wall tie corrodes or fails, structural damage can follow. We offer a cavity wall tie replacement service using stainless steel systems designed for longevity. It is often the case that work of this nature is reserved for major renovations, or for projects where the property in question has fallen into major dilapidation.
Before installation, we assess your walls using endoscopic surveys. This ensures an accurate diagnosis and responsive repair, especially in homes exposed to what can be brutal coastal weather in the local Brighton and Hove areas.
