Brian Parker Services

We have been serving public and commercial sectors throughout the Berkshire area for over 60 years and are highly renowned and recommended for the high quality service that we offer. Over the years we have worked for many historical churches, estate agents & local councils as a reliable and reputable business. Formally known as Berkshire Roofing Services, B Parker Pest Control and B Parker Drains we merged the 3 companines into 1 company a few years ago. We have a reputation that is proven by the quality of our work with most of our business being through customers' recommendation.

Drains only need a CCTV inspection if your buying a property or a blockage seems to be re-occurring. Once the jetting has been carried out & the blockage removed, only then can we expect to get the camera head down into the pipe to investigate the problem. The CCTV camera is put down either downstream or upstream & pushed down to where the fault is expected to be. We can see on our coloured monitor the distance travelled etc. adjust the lighting on the camera head & record the whole procedure. After an initial survey of your problem, we can try some of the techniques at our disposal.

Squirrels look harmless. And indeed they are. At least, they're mostly harmless. They can be extremely annoying however, and can even do some real damage if they get in your loft space. They can also do a lot of damage in your garden, not only from digging holes to store food in your lawn, but by stripping back trees for their nests, resulting in the trees dying. There are a number of techniques to deal with squirrels, most of them preventative rather than aggressive. If you wish however, Brian Parker Services can be called to provide squirrel control in Wokingham by trapping the squirrels and then taking them away.

When it comes to unblocking and clearing blocked drains in Wokingham and the surrounding area we have all the expertise and equipment you need to get the job done quickly, professionally and with the minimum of fuss. We supply a fast and efficient service at very competitive rates. We are fully qualified and have years of experience so you are always assured of a quality service.

The CCTV Drain Survey Wokingham process is carried out quickly with minimal disruption to homes and businesses. A small camera is inserted into the drain and pushed through the drain. Whilst travelling through the pipe the camera provides the monitor a view of the drain in full colour, so we can pinpoint the problem and find out all the details needed to fix the problem. We understand that not everybody has technical knowledge so we make sure that our reports are clear and concise and not filled with extensive technical jargon.

Traditional built up felting used to weather flat roofs has been around for many years & served commercial & domestic flat roofing extremely well. With the other types of membranes now on the market e.g., EPDM rubber roofing & GRP glass fibre roofing, many people feel that because they are new technology, they are better than traditional felt roofing, and have asked are these replacements for built up felting. But at Brian Parker Services with our 40 years plus experience as a flat roof contractor Wokingham, we feel they are just new options & will undoubtedly cost you more money to fit and maintain in the short and long term.

Adults live harmlessly out of doors in summer but may enter buildings (usually roof spaces and lofts but also through windows into rooms) in autumn to hibernate, sometimes in vast numbers. Other unrelated species may also cluster. They may be severe nuisance if large numbers of adults enter inhabited parts of buildings. Some buildings are infested each autumn year-after-year. Please call us to help with your infestation of cluster flies. Cockroaches are among earth's most ancient creatures, surviving floods, fire, famine and nuclear tests.

Having damaged joints between your bricks or masonry repointed prevents water penetration and the consequential damage. Most chimney damage or decay starts from the top down. The top cement flaunching between you and your neighbour's chimney pots should be laid in one continuous section without cracks/split. The cement flaunching should be cambered so rainwaters runs off the chimney to the outer edge. When repairs are required they should be made with the correct materials by an experienced contractor using appropriate tools and safety systems.

Many species of bird in the UK are a nuisance creating problems with noise, bird mess, getting in roof spaces and in some cases aggressive behavior. As one of Berkshire's leading bird control specialists we have many years of experience with all types of bird control in Berkshire problems. Many birds are protected under the Countryside and Wildlife Act 1981 and to deal with any bird control problem a General License is required. All of our technicians are fully trained and licensed to deal with any bird problem and are just a phone call away.

Signs of deterioration on a roof almost always mean that the covering, be it slate or tile, has run the natural course of its life. Patching up here and there is literally no more than a stop-gap exercise that usually just costs you more in the long run. The only sensible course of action is to re-tile the roof, replacing the underlying felting and bring your existing roof up-to-date with new guidelines and codes of practice. Your roof bears the brunt of the British weather, and is your home's major protection against damage from sun wind and rain.

We have been installing uPVC roof line fascias soffits and gutters in Wokingham and the Berkshire area for many years. In fact we've been fitting these products pretty much from when they first came onto the market and have the ‘Swish' approved certificates from way back! The main reason people look towards uPVC as a replacement product is when their property is looking tired & the thought of re-painting is too tedious so having uPVC fitted is the preferred choice. The original timber fascia boards and soffits to your home would have only ever been painted on the outside.
