One of the core segments of our services is our insurance repairs.

With many years experience in Insurance building, we have been undertaking repairs to homes and businesses all over the South West since 2016, ranging from small patch and paint jobs to large scale damage repair projects.

Make safe completed to cover the exposed roof after collapse of original chimney.

Base of chimney cleaned up and ready for works

Temporary roof cover installed and scaffold erected to begins works to the chimney.

Working closely with the Engineers and the Insurance Builder to create a stronger chimney that would be built to last, we first laid a concrete metal slab on the remainder of the chimney before installing an internal metal structure that would act as a backbone to the new brickwork.

Bolts fixed into the original chimney with epoxy, form boards installed ready for cement.

Concrete poured with buckets installed into the slab to later be cut and removed that will allow for the chimney to operate if required.

Internal structure installed and brickwork underway to later be rendered.

Once bricked up and rendered, we installed custom Aerostone bands to match the original one and then painted to match the original.

Brickwork finished and rendered, ready for installation of Aerostone bands and later painting.

After the internal repairs were completed, the result was a chimney stronger and indistinguishable from it's original counterpart on the other side of the building.
