What is included in the Inspection, On-site Advice or Assessement
The independent Timber Consultant will visit your home or unit to investigate the problem and its cause(s), as well as providing recommendations for remedial repairs if required. This is documented in a typed report, which details the problem and advises the options which are to overcome it.
Where possible, the Inspector will provide the names of relevant companies or tradesmen you can approach for quotes. This is particularly important if you have a problem that requires a specialist, for instance rising or lateral damp and roof membrane problem.
