Frequently Asked Questions

Do you take on small repairs?
Yes. A small leak or a damaged piece of joinery is worth sorting before it turns into a bigger job, and we are happy to come and look at it.
Do you find the cause of a leak or just patch it?
We look for where the water is coming in, repair the cause and then make good the damage it has left behind.
What happens if the repair turns out to be bigger?
If we find rot or damage behind the finish, we show you and explain the options before doing any extra work.
Where do you carry out repairs?
Around Truro, Falmouth, Perranwell Station and Playing Place, and in other parts of Cornwall.
Not every job we do is an extension. We also take on repairs and maintenance, from tracking down a small leak to putting right bigger problems with walls, timbers and joinery. The same team that builds our new homes carries out the repair, so it is done to the same standard. Repairs we can help with include rotten or damaged timber and joinery, cracked or damaged walls and render, leaks where water is getting into the building, and making good after other work. Where a repair needs a roofer, plumber or electrician, we bring in the subcontractors we use on our larger projects. This suits homeowners, landlords and owners of holiday lets who want a reliable local builder to call on when something needs fixing properly. A repair is priced on what we find. Seeing the problem lets us tell you whether it is a quick fix or a sign of something bigger, such as a leak that has damaged timbers behind the finish. Access matters too, because work at height may need scaffolding. To get started, tell us the address, what the problem is, where it is in the property and how long it has been going on. A couple of photos sent by email to info@mitchellandrewbuilding.co.uk help us see it before we visit.

Building Maintenance Truro: The Property Year That Prevents the Big Bills

Planned building maintenance for homes and small properties: the seasonal inspection rhythm, gutters, pointing and external joinery as the front line, small repairs done before they compound, and one builder holding the whole picture.
