Do you dry HMOs and rented properties?

Yes. HMO and rental drying is arranged in coordination with the tenant, landlord or agent — including access arrangements, equipment operating hours and any monitoring visits.

Can you work in occupied offices or shops?

Yes. Commercial drying is planned around occupation using zoned equipment and, where useful, staged visits. Access hours and noise-sensitive activities are discussed at the walk-through.

Can a Birmingham property manager refer several affected units?

Yes. A block or asset manager can refer multiple affected demises in one instruction, with a single technical point of contact per site to keep records comparable.

Do you cover Birmingham city centre?

Yes. City-centre apartments, offices and retail are within the standard coverage area, subject to access arrangements agreed with building management.

How should access be arranged in a managed apartment building?

Access is usually arranged with the concierge or building manager. Where a keysafe or agent handover is used, this is agreed at the initial call so equipment installation is not delayed.

About the Birmingham area

Birmingham is a large, mixed-use city — Victorian terraces and conversions in inner suburbs, tower blocks and modern apartment developments across the centre, and a substantial commercial estate. The property mix means water damage in one demise often affects a neighbour, which changes how quickly the response has to be coordinated.

Residential

Residential drying in Birmingham covers houses across the outer suburbs, flats and converted properties in the inner ring, and modern apartments in city-centre developments. Escape-of-water incidents in flats often involve access through more than one property, and My HomeDry coordinates with occupants, landlords and letting agents so drying is not delayed by access.

Commercial & managed

Commercial coverage includes offices, retail units, shared workspaces and managed buildings across central Birmingham and the Colmore Business District. Equipment is set out in stages so a tenant floor can keep operating, with access windows, out-of-hours attendance and dry-air routing agreed with the facilities lead before mobilisation. Where a heating or sprinkler system has discharged across a floor plate, drying is planned around the void systems as well as the visible finishes.

Insurance & loss adjusters

Insurance work across Birmingham is accepted from adjusters, insurers, brokers and policyholders. My HomeDry provides moisture readings, monitoring records and completion information for the claim file. Cover, approval and settlement remain with the insurer.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. When a leak in one flat has affected the demise below or beside it, both parties are contacted and the work is planned with the block manager or letting agent so the party wall or ceiling can be opened up and dried from the correct side.
