Can fitted kitchens be dried after an appliance leak?

Fitted kitchens can often be dried in place, with access through plinths and kickboards rather than removing whole runs. Where a unit base has swollen or delaminated, that unit may need to come out.

Can wooden or engineered flooring be retained?

Retention depends on how long the material was wet, the water category and the substrate. The substrate is read first; lifting is a considered decision, not a default.

Do you support commercial premises in Solihull?

Yes. Offices along the A34, retail units around Touchwood and Mell Square and smaller industrial premises off the M42 are all part of the routine Solihull book — equipment is set out in stages so the space keeps working through the programme wherever the incident allows.

Can the insurer or loss adjuster receive drying records?

Yes. Records are shared directly with the instructing party — insurer, loss adjuster or the policyholder.

Can you assess hidden moisture before recommending strip-out?

Yes. A moisture survey with recorded readings is the basis for any strip-out recommendation, so the property is opened up no further than necessary.

About the Solihull area

Solihull's property mix ranges from Victorian and Edwardian streets around the town centre through mid-century family housing to newer estates in Dickens Heath and Shirley South, plus a strong commercial estate along the corridor to the airport. Fitted interiors are common in the residential stock, which affects how retain-or-remove decisions are made.

Residential

Residential drying covers houses and apartments across the borough, with common cases including bathroom leaks into the room below, appliance leaks in fitted kitchens and heating pipe failures during colder months. Where a fitted kitchen or wardrobe is affected, access is planned to protect finishes.

Commercial & managed

Commercial work in Solihull covers offices along the Blythe Valley corridor, retail parades in Shirley and Dorridge, smaller industrial units off the M42 and the managed apartment blocks that have grown up around Solihull town centre. Equipment is set out in stages so tenanted floors and trading spaces keep working, and site logistics are agreed with the facilities lead before the first visit.

Insurance & loss adjusters

Insurance-referred drying is accepted from adjusters, insurers, brokers and policyholders. Records for the file include readings, equipment schedules, monitoring notes and completion information.
