What this work involves
Review masonry, joints, junctions and moisture together. Cleaning or a new coating does not automatically solve underlying defects. Assess the cause and test treatment where appropriate.
- Masonry and joint survey
- Damaged material repair
- Appropriate cleaning and finish
- Window and roof connections
- Access and protection
Use the following design considerations when coordinating this service with a wider project. Agree which parts apply to your request.
Coordinate opening windows and shading with work and play areas.
What the drawing needs to explain
Show furniture, door swings and circulation on one plan. Mark a quiet workspace and the places where several people pass at once.
Allow for later maintenance
Keep service routes with the room plan. The information helps when a bedroom later needs a different arrangement or use.
Which trade-off matters?
An open living space makes contact easy but offers less separation for sound and work. Compare a fully open plan with closable zones while retaining clear routes to the kitchen and stairs.
Cost factors for this service
Area, damage, method and scaffolding affect the price. A test area may help establish the approach.
Bring this to the discussion
Overall and detail photographs, damage and known moisture issues.
