What a photo can tell us, and what needs checking on site.

We sort out the likely causes and repair methods. Anything the photo cannot show, and how far the damage really goes, has to be checked on site.

What we work out from the photo

Possible causes
Based on the photo and the words on your tape, we suggest what may be causing it.
Repair methods
We set out the repairs likely to be needed and which Trade to ask.
Cost range
Worked out from reference data and quantities. If the data is not enough, we show no amount.
Sample: ceiling stain

This may be a leak from the floor above

A photo alone cannot pinpoint where the leak is.

What needs checking on site

Damage you cannot see
Behind the ceiling, the pipes, and where a leak runs.
How much needs repairing
How far it has spread, the state of the base layer, and any scaffolding needed.
The actual Quote
Confirmed with a Contractor after the Site Survey.
