Howard Ruse Associates

As soon as it has been established that the cause of the damage has been removed or remedied then superstructure reinstatement works, crack repairs, stitching of brickwork, making good of plaster etc, and redecoration, may be carried out. Our schedule of reinstatement works will incorporate all aspects of the work necessary to make good the damage. Again, we manage the works, monitor progress by regular visits and carry out inspections at specific stages.

In some cases it is necessary for the occupier to move into temporary accommodation during the course of the remedial works. This is often the case if internal underpinning is required. Crack repair and redecorative works can usually be carried out while the building remains occupied. Most Building Insurance Policies provide for alternative accommodation, where it is necessary.

Assuming that access to the property is freely available during normal working hours, the Report should take no longer than seven working days from receipt of instructions to electronic issue by email and by first class post, if required. We will collect keys from an estate agent at no additional cost, provided that the key-holding office is within two miles of the property.
