Wind-driven rain on solid stone and brick walls
Village-centre cottages take direct hits from north-easterly weather. We re-point with lime mortar, repair stonework sympathetically, and dry the wall before re-plastering inside.

Common in Marske-by-the-Sea

Talk to GarySalt-driven render and paint failure
Seafront and exposed properties see render and decoration fail far faster than inland. Proper substrate prep, breathable systems and salt-tolerant paints are the only durable answer.
Snapped UPVC cylinders on New Marske semis
Original 1990s/2000s cylinders snap regularly. 3-star Kitemarked anti-snap cylinders sized to the door - fast, insurance-compliant fix.
Failing flat-roof extensions
1970s/80s flat-roof extensions need replacing, not patching. EPDM rubber or warm-deck systems, plus full internal making-good.
Second-home and holiday-let turnarounds
Quick changeovers between bookings or owner visits - locks, plumbing, joinery, decoration - invoiced direct, photographic records of every visit.
