Many of you will be making a claim for some of the costs of repair work. For evidence, all repair work must be well documented and inspected.

At Leaky Building Solutions, we do not get involved in patching and band-aid style repairs.

It's bad for you and bad for our reputation.

In most cases a full reclad will be required and some modification of the roof and windows/doors.

We generally start at one corner of the property and work around each face stripping the old cladding and rebuilding it properly.

There is an opportunity here to check, upspec or replace any insulation and check the bracing of the framework if the owner wishes. There is also the opportunity to undertake any additional alteration work you have been thinking about.

Generally it will be possible for the property to be occupied whilst work is going on but we will require some co-operation.

It is also worth bearing in mind that if you do intend to sell the property, the buyer is likely to ask you which company did the repair work. This is where you will want to be able to point at reputable and experienced company.
