Who do I ask to help?

Posted by Siobhan Byrne, on
I'm not sure who I need to ask for help. I have cracks in external walls and broken rendering. I have possible damp issues. There are cracks in internal walls. Leaking windows, a broken upvc door. Do I need one builder or a number of different tradesmen?

Hi Siobhan Please be extremely careful with this one, your main issue is what is causing movement in your property and is it an ongoing issue or is it a historical one. Before you repair or replace anything be 100% sure it is resolved before you try and fix the issues you refer to. You either need the opinion of a structural engineer in the first instance or a builder you can trust. Good luck, I would be happy to take an impartial look for you.....NO CHARGE.

Hello Siobhan, A decent general builder should be able to carry out the works listed. Just look a the ratings and see what you think of the person when they arrive. A reputable trader will offer advice not just a price. Hope this helps, Liam
