Services
Every instruction is carried out by an accredited assessor and lodged on the relevant register. Where services overlap we combine them into a single visit.
01
An EPC is required in the UK whenever a property is marketed for sale or rent. It rates the energy efficiency of the building from A to G and sets out the measures that would improve it.
We assess domestic property and issue the recommendation report alongside the certificate, so the next steps are clear before you are asked about them.
02
A legionella risk assessment involves a systematic evaluation of water systems to identify potential sources of legionella bacteria.
Landlords have a duty to assess and control that risk in the properties they let. We inspect the system, record outlets and temperatures, and issue a written assessment with any required actions listed in order of priority.
03
Portable appliance testing (PAT) is the term used to describe the examination of electrical appliances and equipment to ensure they are safe to use. Most electrical safety defects can be found by visual examination but some types of defect can only be found by testing. However, it is essential to understand that visual examination is an essential part of the process because some types of electrical safety defect can’t be detected by testing alone.
The law mandates that landlords and employers maintain electrical equipment to prevent any hazards. Landlords must have the electrical systems in their properties inspected and tested by a qualified and competent individual at least once every five years.
04
Standard Assessment Procedure calculations for new dwellings, extensions and conversions, at design stage and as built. Send plans and specifications and we will report where the build stands against the standards.
This service is available Scotland-wide, so distance is no obstacle for housebuilders and self-builders outside Argyll.
