Birmingham’s housing and building stock shapes many of the problems we are called out for. The city is one of the largest council landlords in the country. Unfortunately, damp and mould in older and social housing properties is an ongoing concern. Thousands of complaints have been recorded, and a significant share of housing stock now falls below the Decent Homes Standard . Furthermore, Birmingham is home to one of the largest student populations in the UK , spread across five universities, with dense student and shared housing. Edgbaston and Selly Oak, in particular, see high occupancy and limited ventilation in converted houses cause increased condensation and mould. As a result, services like our mould removal and damp surveys are in constant demand.
Birmingham is also one of the most regenerated cities in the UK. Major developments such as Smithfield, Paradise and HS2 mean that construction, refurbishment and fit-out work is constant. As a result, professional construction drying and building exterior cleaning are frequently required.
As with many UK cities and towns, water also plays a part. The Rivers Rea and Tame, along with heavy surface water run-off, can flood basements and lower ground rooms, as the case study further down the page shows.
We are a full-service restoration company, covering a wide range of damage and specialist cleaning across Birmingham. Below, you find an overview of some of our core services. Follow the link to learn more about how we work and the service you can expect.
