Building Repair
Timber Repairs
Cambridgeshire is home to many stunning properties with beautiful wooden features, from decorative beams and hardwood door sills to iconic sash windows. Instead of resorting to replacements, especially in listed buildings where original materials must often be preserved, we focus on refurbishment. Using specialist products and techniques, we restore these features while maintaining their original character and ensuring they’re protected for the future.
Sash windows are a key area of our expertise. These timeless features often suffer from wear and tear over the years, but with our careful refurbishment, we can restore them to their former glory. Similarly, fascias and soffits—which are crucial for protecting buildings from the elements—can often be salvaged and refurbished. We remove any damage or rot, applying treatments to ensure their durability while preserving the charm of your property’s design.
Fascias and soffits, alongside sash windows, are a recurring theme in our timber repair work. By choosing refurbishment over replacement, we deliver results that are both sustainable and cost-effective, ensuring these elements continue to enhance your property for years to come.

Concrete Repairs
Concrete repair is where our journey began, abseiling down buildings across the country to inspect, survey, and fix structural issues. Over the years, we’ve honed our expertise to deliver repairs that not only restore concrete but also address the factors causing its deterioration. From crack injection techniques to protective coatings, we employ advanced methods to ensure long-lasting results.
Our approach always begins with a thorough investigation of the problem’s root cause. Whether it’s due to water ingress, reinforcement corrosion, or environmental wear, we develop tailored solutions to rectify the issue and prevent future damage. With extensive experience in concrete repairs, we’re proud to deliver industry-leading results for properties across Cambridgeshire.

Masonry Repairs
Masonry repair has been a cornerstone of our services since 2008. After years of working across the country, we brought our expertise back to Cambridgeshire to serve the community closer to home. Masonry repairs typically last the lifetime of a building when carried out correctly, making them a crucial aspect of maintaining structural integrity.
Before starting any masonry repair, we conduct a detailed inspection to determine the underlying cause of the problem. Surface issues often stem from deeper structural shifts or environmental factors, and addressing these root causes is essential for a successful and lasting repair. Masonry encompasses a broad range of materials, including brickwork and stacked stones bonded with mortar. Whatever the issue, our skilled team is equipped to handle all aspects of masonry repair with precision and care.

Chimney Repairs
Chimneys are often overlooked despite being exposed to harsh weather conditions year-round. Over time, this exposure can lead to cracking, leaning, or other structural issues that, if left unaddressed, can become costly to repair. We specialize in restoring chimneys to their original condition, using either scaffolding or specialist access techniques, depending on the project’s requirements.
By addressing damage early and implementing preventative measures, we help extend the lifespan of your chimney while maintaining its functional and aesthetic value. Whether you need minor repairs or a complete rebuild, our team is here to help.

Specialist Access Solutions
For buildings where traditional scaffolding isn’t practical, we offer specialist access solutions such as abseiling. This method not only saves on the cost and inconvenience of erecting scaffolding but also ensures minimal disruption to your property. Abseiling is particularly useful in areas where scaffolding cannot be safely installed or where time constraints require a faster solution.
Our team is also experienced in working within confined spaces, making us a versatile choice for challenging repair scenarios. With specialist access solutions, you can rest assured that even the most difficult-to-reach areas of your building are in capable hands.
