general building repairs

General building repairs, sorted by one experienced team

If your home or business has a list of small building repairs that never quite get done, there is usually a simple reason: the jobs are too big for a handyman but too small to justify bringing in a full renovation team. Building repairs cover exactly this gap, cracked plaster, damaged brickwork, leaking guttering, unfinished trim and all the jobs that sit between a quick fix and a major project.


Left alone, small problems tend to grow. A crack in render lets water in behind it, a loose roof tile becomes a leak, and work left unfinished from a previous job just sits there, half done. None of this is dramatic, but it chips away at how a building looks and how comfortable it is to live or work in.

Why the work needs more than one trade

Hills Development Group is a family-run building company, so repair jobs are coordinated rather than handed to whoever happens to be free. The in-house team covers the main trades, and specialist subcontractors are brought in to cover whatever else a job needs, so one damp patch or one damaged wall does not turn into three separate call-outs.

How general building repairs are handled

Each job is looked at properly before anything is started, then carried out by the in-house team, built up over time as Sheldon Hill trained his brother and expanded the trades on offer. For anything outside general building work, such as security systems, solar panels or air conditioning, trusted specialist partners are brought in to finish the job properly.


Once general building repairs are sorted, the property looks and feels finished again. There is no patch left half painted, no gap waiting for a second visit and no lingering job on the to-do list.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What counts as a building repair rather than a renovation?

    A building repair is an individual job such as damage, wear or unfinished work, while a renovation looks at a property as a whole. Hills Development Group takes on both, from single repairs through to complete renovations and house builds.

  • Do you take on small jobs or only larger projects?

    Individual jobs are taken on just as much as larger projects, ranging from home improvements to complete house builds and renovations.

  • How quickly can a repair be looked at?

    This depends on the job, so timing is talked through when you first get in touch so you know what to expect before anything is arranged.

  • Will you match the existing brickwork, plaster or trim?

    The team's background in carpentry and tiling, built up from working alongside family on real projects, is used to finish repairs so they fit in with what is already there.

  • Who actually carries out the repair work?

    Work is carried out by the in-house team, made up of family members trained over time, with specialist subcontractors brought in when a repair needs a trade outside the core team.
