Building Maintenance in Truro
Homes in Truro
Truro has many Georgian townhouses in its centre and later family housing on the surrounding hills, so the same repair can raise different questions depending on which you own. Telling us the type of house, and whether it is listed or in a conservation area, is a useful first step. Whatever its age, a repair that grows into an extension must meet the Building Regulations on foundations, structure, insulation and drainage, and building control checks it. The garden building in the photo, timber-clad with black sliding glass doors and a slate roof, is our own finished work, and the review beside it praises clear communication and quality workmanship.
“Miles and Marc built a large extension on our house. The process was great from start to finish, with clear communication throughout and quality workmanship. I would happily have them back for any future building projects.”
What matters for building maintenance in Truro
Building maintenance in Truro starts with a clear picture of the problem. Tell us about the property, the rooms or areas involved and what you want the space to do once the work is finished. That gives us what we need to discuss the scope with you.
- Tell us what is wrong and which part of the house it affects.
- Send photographs, or drawings if you have them, showing the property as it is now.
- Mention any plans beyond the repair, such as an extension, at the outset.
Questions about building maintenance in Truro
My Truro townhouse may be listed. What does that mean for repairs?
Work on a listed building needs listed building consent, so confirm the status before planning anything. If the house is in a conservation area instead, permitted development rights are more limited.
Can you deal with structural repairs as well as small jobs?
Yes. Our work runs from a minor leak through to larger fixes, and groundwork, structural work and finishing are all managed in-house.
