We assist homeowners, landlords, property managers, businesses and commercial clients across Southport and the wider North West.

Do you undertake small property repairs?

Send us a description and photographs of the repair so we can assess whether our team can help.

Yes. We work on residential and commercial properties.

Commercial work can include maintenance, roofing, drainage, scaffolding, access solutions, groundworks, fencing and external repairs.

Can you manage projects requiring several trades?

Yes. One of the main advantages of Hunter Rainn Ltd is that several specialist services can be coordinated under one roof.

For example, a roofing project may require scaffolding, roof repairs, chimney work, guttering and external pointing. Our divisions can work together to make the project easier to manage.

Do you provide property renovation services?

Yes. We can assess property renovation and improvement projects, including structural alterations, strip-outs, building work, roofing, scaffolding, rendering, drainage and external improvements.

Larger projects require a site visit and a clearly agreed scope of work before a detailed quotation can be prepared.


Roofing Questions

Does Hunter Rainn Roofing repair leaking roofs?

Yes. Hunter Rainn Roofing investigates and repairs roof leaks throughout Southport and the North West.

A roof leak can be caused by broken tiles, damaged slates, defective leadwork, failed flashing, chimney defects, flat-roof deterioration or problems around roof penetrations.

The affected area must be inspected before the correct repair can be recommended.

Do you provide complete re-roofs?

Yes. We undertake complete roof replacements for suitable residential and commercial properties.

A re-roof may include:

  • Removal of the existing roof covering
  • Installation of membrane and battens
  • New tiles or slates
  • Ridge and verge systems
  • Leadwork
  • Chimney repairs
  • Fascias, soffits and guttering
  • Scaffolding
  • Waste removal

The final specification will depend on the condition and construction of the existing roof.

Do you repair flat roofs?

Yes. Hunter Rainn Roofing installs and repairs flat roofing, including torch-on felt systems.

We can inspect leaking, damaged or deteriorated flat roofs and recommend repair or replacement where appropriate.

Do you repair chimneys?

Yes. Our chimney services include:

  • Chimney repointing
  • Chimney flaunching
  • Leadwork repairs
  • Chimney removal
  • Repairs around chimney stacks

Safe scaffolding access may be required depending on the height, position and condition of the chimney.

Do you replace fascias, soffits and gutters?

Yes. We can replace damaged or deteriorated fascias, soffits and guttering as part of a roofing project or separate external maintenance work.

Are roofing warranties available?

Appropriate warranty details are confirmed in the written quotation and depend on the work completed.

Customers should retain their quotation, invoice and warranty documentation after the project is finished.

Do roofing projects include scaffolding?

Scaffolding can be included where it is required for safe access.

Because Hunter Rainn Roofing works alongside HR Scaffolding, the roofing and access requirements can be coordinated through Hunter Rainn Ltd.


Scaffolding Questions

Does HR Scaffolding provide domestic scaffolding?

Yes. HR Scaffolding provides domestic access solutions for roofing, chimneys, rendering, pointing, guttering, fascias and general property maintenance.

Do you provide commercial scaffolding?

Yes. We provide scaffolding and access solutions for commercial properties, contractors, construction projects and other trades.

The scaffold design and requirements will depend on the property, intended work, ground conditions and access restrictions.

Can I hire HR Scaffolding without using Hunter Rainn Roofing?

Yes. HR Scaffolding is available independently to homeowners, businesses, builders, roofers and other contractors.

Can you erect scaffolding around a complete property?

Yes. Full and partial scaffold wrap-arounds are available where appropriate.

A site assessment may be necessary to confirm dimensions, access, tie requirements and any obstructions.

Do you provide scaffolding for chimneys?

Yes. We can assess chimney-access scaffolding for repointing, flaunching, leadwork, repairs and chimney removal.

Do you provide temporary roofs?

Temporary-roof structures can be assessed for suitable projects where protection from the weather is required during building or roofing work.

What information do you need for a scaffolding quotation?

Please provide:

  • Property address or area
  • Photographs of every required elevation
  • Approximate building dimensions
  • Description of the work
  • Required working height
  • Preferred installation date
  • Expected hire period
  • Details of conservatories, extensions or restricted access
  • Whether the scaffold will affect a pavement or public area

A site visit may still be required before the quotation is finalised.


Drainage Questions

Does Drain Scout provide emergency drain unblocking?

Yes. Drain Scout provides emergency drain-unblocking services, subject to engineer availability.

We attend blocked drains, overflowing toilets, blocked waste pipes, backed-up manholes and other urgent drainage problems across our service area.

Why does my drain keep blocking?

Recurring drain blockages may be caused by:

  • Tree-root intrusion
  • Cracked or collapsed pipes
  • Displaced joints
  • Poor pipe alignment
  • Grease and waste deposits
  • Foreign objects
  • Defective interceptors
  • Inadequate pipe falls
  • Damaged manholes

A CCTV drain survey can help identify the underlying cause rather than repeatedly clearing the same blockage.

Do you carry out CCTV drain surveys?

Yes. Drain Scout uses professional CCTV equipment to inspect suitable underground drainage systems.

A CCTV drain inspection can help identify cracks, displaced joints, root intrusion, blockages, collapsed sections and other defects.

Can you remove tree roots from drains?

Yes. We provide specialist mechanical root cutting and root removal.

Root intrusion often indicates an opening or defect within the drainage system. After removing the roots, we may recommend a CCTV inspection to determine how they entered the pipe.

Do you repair collapsed drains?

Yes. Drain Scout carries out drain excavation, repair and replacement where suitable.

The repair method will depend on the pipe material, depth, location, access and extent of the damage.

Do you replace soil pipes and soil stacks?

Yes. We install and replace external soil pipes and soil stacks, including suitable branch connections and ventilation arrangements.

Do you repair and replace Saniflo units?

Yes. Drain Scout can inspect blocked or faulty Saniflo macerators and replace units where repair is not practical.

Warranty information for a new installation will be confirmed when the work is quoted.

Do you install surface-water drainage?

Yes. We install suitable surface-water drainage solutions, including ACO channel drainage, gullies, underground pipework and soakaways.

The correct solution depends on the size of the area, ground conditions, available outlets and the location of buildings and boundaries.


Groundworks, Fencing and External Work Questions

Does Hunter Rainn Ltd install fencing?

Yes. We install residential and commercial wooden fencing, including:

  • Feather-edge fencing
  • Close-board fencing
  • Timber panels
  • Timber or concrete posts
  • Gravel boards
  • Garden gates
  • Privacy fencing
  • Bespoke boundary fencing

Fencing can be designed around the dimensions and requirements of the property.

Do you carry out groundworks?

Yes. Our groundworks services can include excavation, foundations, drainage trenches, surface-water systems, site preparation and external reinstatement.

A site assessment is normally required before larger groundworks are priced.

Do you install ACO channel drainage?

Yes. We install ACO channel drainage to collect and direct surface water around suitable driveways, paths, patios, garages and outbuildings.

The system must discharge to an appropriate drainage point or correctly designed soakaway.

Do you carry out brickwork and repointing?

Yes. Hunter Rainn Ltd can assess brick repairs, wall repairs, repointing, chimney pointing and selected rebuilding work.

The correct mortar and repair method will depend on the age, condition and construction of the property.

Do you provide rendering services?

Yes. External rendering and render repairs can be assessed as part of our property maintenance and renovation services.


Quotations, Appointments and Project Questions

Do you provide free quotations?

Yes!  Quotation arrangements depend on the type, location and complexity of the work.

Straightforward projects may be assessed from detailed photographs, while roofing, scaffolding, structural work, drainage repairs and larger renovations may require an inspection.

Can you give an exact price from photographs?

Photographs can help us understand the work, but they do not always show hidden damage, access restrictions, measurements or structural conditions.

Any initial figure based only on photographs may need to be confirmed following an inspection.

Are you fully insured?

Yes. Hunter Rainn Ltd and its specialist divisions maintain appropriate insurance for the services provided.

Relevant information can be supplied when required for a project.

Do you provide written quotations?

Yes. For quoted work, the agreed scope, price and relevant terms should be confirmed in writing before the project begins.

Are materials included in the quotation?

The written quotation will state whether materials, labour, scaffolding, waste removal and VAT are included.

Customers should read the full scope carefully and ask about anything that is unclear before accepting the quotation.

How quickly can work begin?

Availability depends on the service required, the size of the project, materials, weather conditions and our current schedule.

Emergency drainage work is prioritised separately from planned roofing, scaffolding and property-maintenance projects.

What happens if additional problems are discovered?

If hidden defects or additional work are discovered, we will explain the issue and discuss the options before carrying out work outside the agreed quotation.
