Damage Repairs in Newbury

Specialist water damage repairs for heritage and traditionally built properties in Newbury and West Berkshire.

We provide water damage repairs in Newbury and across West Berkshire, specialising in heritage and traditionally built properties. Our work focuses on identifying the cause of failure, repairing damaged timber, plaster and masonry, and restoring historic features correctly — not simply covering the problem.

We regularly deal with long-term water ingress, ceiling and cornice failure, rotten timbers, chimney breast damage, and decorative features affected by leaks, damp and condensation. All work is carried out using appropriate methods and materials for the age and construction of the building.

Water Damage Repairs We Carry Out

An unfinished room with bare flooring and construction debris, including tools and a vacuum cleaner, alongside an open doorway leading to another room.

We undertake a wide range of water damage and repair work, including:

Timber repairs following prolonged water ingress
Ceiling collapse repairs and sagging ceilings
Failed plaster, blown ceilings, and cracked internal walls
Decorative cornice and moulding restoration
Chimney breast and roof-leak damage repairs
Water-damaged columns, beams, and load-bearing features
Internal damage caused by burst pipes, overflows, and long-term leaks

Each repair is approached individually, based on the condition and construction of the property.

Many of the properties we work on are Victorian, Edwardian, or traditionally built homes with solid walls, original plaster, and historic decorative features. These buildings behave very differently to modern construction and require a repair-led approach rather than cosmetic treatments.

We understand the importance of:

Lime plaster and traditional materials
Breathability and moisture movement
Repair over unnecessary replacement
Matching original details and profiles
Preserving the character and integrity of the building

This approach ensures repairs last and prevents repeat failure.

Our Repair-First Approach

We don’t sell surveys or unnecessary treatments.
Our focus is on fixing what has actually failed.

Every project follows a clear process:

The cause of the damage is identified first
Failed or unsafe materials are removed
Repairs are carried out correctly
Surfaces and decorative features are restored
Areas are left ready for final finishing

This method avoids shortcuts and cosmetic cover-ups.
