What to expect when a remedial builder works on your home

Having remedial works done on your home can feel stressful. You might picture dust, noise and trades everywhere. The right remedial builder will plan works so your home stays safe and liveable while repairs are done.

Here is how we approach it at MJ Reilly Constructions.

Step 1: Inspection and clear advice

Everything starts with a proper look at the problem. We:

  • Visit your home to inspect the issues

  • Ask about the history of the problem

  • Explain, in simple terms, what we think is going on

If needed, we involve an engineer to confirm the repair method.

Step 2: Written quote and scope

Next, we give you a clear, itemised quote that outlines:

  • The repair method, such as lintel replacement, crack stitching or balcony waterproofing

  • The areas of the house we will work on

  • How long we expect the works to take

This lets you plan around the works and ask any questions before we start.

Step 3: Planning around your life

For most residential jobs we keep you living in the home while works are done. We:

  • Set up safe access and protection

  • Keep work areas tidy at the end of each day

  • Let you know when noisy or messy tasks will happen

Good planning makes remedial works much easier to live through.

Step 4: Quality repairs

Our team carries out the repairs as agreed. That may include:

  • Lintel replacement and brickwork repairs

  • Crack stitching and repointing

  • Balcony waterproofing and tile replacement

  • Roof repairs and flashing upgrades

We use proven systems and good materials, so the repairs last.

Step 5: Handover and after care

Once works are complete, we:

  • Walk you through what has been done

  • Share photos of hidden repairs, like lintels and membranes

  • Explain any maintenance tips that will help protect your home
