Questions we're asked most.
How do I know if my chimney needs repointing?
+
Look for eroded joints, loose mortar on the roof below, or damp patches on interior chimney breasts. Drone survey confirms scope.
Do you provide a free written quote?
+
Yes. We survey the roof, then send an itemised written quote you can compare line-by-line. No verbal-only estimates and no pressure to commit.
Are you fully insured?
+
Yes — public liability and employers' liability cover. Proof of insurance is available on request before you engage us.
Do you supply photo evidence of completed work?
+
Every job closes with a before/during/after photo pack. On drone-surveyed jobs we include aerial imagery as well.
How do you handle waste and site tidiness?
+
Skip or grab-lorry provision is included in the quote. Site is swept and left as we'd want our own home left — no nails on the drive, no debris in the flowerbeds.
Which areas of Cumbria do you cover?
+
Carlisle, wider Cumbria, the Lake District and selected areas of the Scottish Borders. If you're near the boundary, call — we'll tell you honestly.
