Remedial Works
Craft Build’s remedial services are designed to address and rectify structural issues with the expertise and precision that high-end properties demand.
Guaranteeing you long-term stability and safety.
Our remedial works address the specific challenges of heritage properties, ensuring their preservation and longevity. By combining traditional methods with innovative solutions, we provide tailored services that respect the history and integrity of each building.
Masonry issues in historic properties require skilled craftsmanship and a thorough understanding of traditional materials. Our services include:
- Crack repairs and consolidation to maintain both the structural integrity and historical character of the building.
- Chimney repairs, including stabilisation, re-bedding, and rebuilding with traditional materials.
- Structural stabilisation work, such as the installation of helical ties to secure and strengthen masonry without altering its appearance.
Our services include:
Render Removal
Modern renders can trap moisture and cause long-term damage to historic masonry. We meticulously remove unsuitable renders by hand, ensuring no harm to the original materials beneath. This process restores the breathability of the building and prepares it for appropriate conservation treatments or finishes.
DOFF Paint Removal
Our DOFF steam cleaning system provides a gentle yet highly effective solution for removing modern paints, biological growth, and coatings from historic masonry and stonework. Using high-temperature, low-pressure steam, this method ensures thorough cleaning without damaging delicate surfaces, helping to reveal and preserve the building’s original features.
French Drain Installation
Effective moisture management is essential for the long-term health of heritage properties. Our carefully installed French drains provide improved drainage, protecting foundations and reducing the risk of damp issues while respecting the building’s historic setting.
Carpentry for Remedial Works
Historic timber features often require sensitive repair or replacement to address decay or damage. Our skilled carpentry team specialises in:
- Preserving the authenticity and functionality of key architectural features.
- Restoring or replacing decayed timber elements using traditional techniques.
- Strengthening structural timber with reinforcements that blend seamlessly with the original fabric.
