In short: Quirks looks after houses and flats for the people who own them. One contractor covers the repairs, the damp, the structural problems and the improvements, so one call sorts the lot — and when something cannot wait, we run a 24-hour emergency call-out service.
Property repair at a family home
Repairs and call-outs
Leaks, roof and gutter faults, broken doors and windows, storm damage and the awkward jobs a handyman cannot take on. Send us photos, get a written price, and our own operatives do the work and clean up after themselves.
Damp-proofing treatment in a home
Damp, mould and condensation
We find the cause before we treat it: rising damp, penetrating damp, leaks, condensation and poor ventilation. Damp-proofing, replastering and ventilation work by our own damp-proofing operatives, with a written survey where you need one.
Structural crack repair on a house wall
Structural and crack repairs
Cracked walls, dropped bay windows, failed lintels, repointing and chimneys — investigated properly, and repaired to an engineer’s specification where one is needed. We never guess at structural work.
Completed garage conversion living space
Garage conversions
Turn the garage into a room the house actually uses — handled from survey to completion by one contractor.
No chasing three different trades.
Everything we cover
The four cards above are where most jobs start, but the point of one contractor is breadth. Our own operatives cover:
- General building repairs and alterations
- Carpentry and joinery — doors, frames, skirting, structural timber
- Roofing and guttering repairs
- Brickwork, repointing and chimney repairs
- Plastering and replastering
- Damp proofing, condensation and ventilation work
- Structural repairs — steels, lintels, crack stitching
- Garage conversions and structural alterations
- Glazing and window repairs
- Doors, locks and boarding up
- Drainage and plumbing repairs
- Demolition of garages and outbuildings
Electrical work is carried out by NAPIT registered engineers and gas work by Gas Safe registered engineers we bring in, alongside our own trades.
Homeowners we look after
Who we help
Something needs fixing
A leak, a crack, a damp patch, a door that will not shut. Send a few photos on WhatsApp with your postcode and we come back with a written quotation — one contractor, one price, no chasing three different trades.
Buying a house
If a survey has flagged damp, movement or roof problems on a house you are buying, our pre-purchase quote service puts a real repair price against the surveyor’s wording — often the difference in your next offer.
Improving the one you own
Walls coming out, new openings, steels in, garages becoming rooms. We arrange the calculations and do the building work as one job. Where work needs Building Regulations approval we tell you before we start and arrange the Building Control route that applies.
Local housing stock
What we see in homes around here
Most of the houses we work on are pre-war or older: solid-wall terraces in Chester, Wrexham and the Wirral towns, 1930s semis with their original bays and lintels, stone cottages in the Flintshire hills and ex-council stock around Deeside. A lot of them have had cement pointing or modern plasters put onto walls that were built to breathe — and that is where much of the damp we treat actually starts.
The pattern repeats every autumn: gutters block, a chimney or a bay starts letting water in, a cold corner grows mould, and the crack that was ‘always there’ opens a little wider. Caught early, most of these are modest jobs. Left for a few winters, they become structural ones.
A lot of our structural work starts life as an improvement: a wall coming out between the kitchen and the dining room, a new opening needing a steel, a garage becoming a playroom. Done with the right calculations, it adds space and value. Done badly, it is where the cracks come from.
One point of contact
Why one contractor
House problems rarely respect trade boundaries. The damp patch in the bedroom is often a gutter fault; the sticking door is a dropped lintel; the crack in the render goes back to a leaking downpipe. Call three separate trades and each one sees their own piece. We diagnose across the trades, fix the cause as well as the symptom, and you get one written quotation and one invoice.
All trades under one roof is also why the work gets finished: the plasterer follows the damp team, the decorator-ready finish follows the plasterer, without you project-managing the gaps between firms.

What customers say
★★★★★5.0 · 100+ Google reviews★★★★★“Really impressed with the service from Quirks after we had an escape of water at home.I contacted them on a Saturday afternoon and, despite it being out of hours, they came out the following morning to investigate. They then returned again the day after to carry out the further work needed.The issue involved a concealed water leak, so they had to investigate and open up areas to locate the source, before carrying out the necessary plumbing work. They were really helpful throughout, explained what they were doing clearly and left everything tidy.They also provided all of the paperwork and breakdowns I needed for the insurance claim, which made a stressful situation much easier to deal with.Communication was great from start to finish, they were professional, reliable and genuinely helpful. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Quirks and would definitely use them again.”

They give you a quote for a job and will answer any queries you have about the work. Once you’ve agreed on the start date they turn up promptly, clean up every day and work until the job is done. I’ve been very pleased with their work on all occasions.”

Your questions
Frequently asked questions
How much does residential property maintenance cost?
It depends on the job: the size of the repair, whether the cause has to be found first (damp and leaks especially), access, and whether an engineer’s specification is needed for structural work. You pay for the job — there is no retainer and no monthly fee. Most jobs we can price from photographs — send yours on WhatsApp or by email and we’ll come back with a written quotation.
Do you take on small jobs?
Yes. If it is worth you finding someone to do it, it is worth us pricing it — small repairs are often photographed, priced and done in a single visit.
Do you do kitchens and bathrooms?
Not as full refits — we have moved away from that work to concentrate on repairs, damp, structural work and conversions. We still deal with the problems behind kitchens and bathrooms: leaks, damp, ventilation and structural issues.
Do you offer 24-hour emergency call-outs?
Yes, across all trades: burst pipes, storm damage, roof leaks, blocked drains, break-ins and boarding up. WhatsApp us the address and a photo at any hour and we will come back to you.
Do I need a structural engineer?
Sometimes — and we will tell you when. Cracks, new openings and wall removals can need an engineer’s calculations and Building Control involvement; we arrange what is needed and carry out the work to the specification rather than guessing.
Will you tell me if something bigger is wrong?
Yes. If the job turns out to be more than the photographs showed, we stop and show you photographs of what we have found before any extra work is priced or done.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes — a workmanship guarantee on completed works, and you get before and after photographs of every job for your own records.
Can you handle gas and electrical work?
Yes — electrical work is done by NAPIT registered engineers and gas work by Gas Safe registered engineers we bring in, so the whole job still runs through one contractor and one invoice.
Do you work with insurance claims?
We regularly repair storm, flood and escape-of-water damage, and we provide the written quotations, reports and photographs your insurer asks for. You deal with your insurer; we make the paperwork easy.
Which areas do you cover?
Flintshire and Deeside, Chester and Cheshire including Ellesmere Port, Wirral, and Wrexham. We are based in Ewloe Green, Flintshire.
