Services
Survey first, then the repair.
Every job starts with a survey, and often the survey ends it: a gutter, a fan or nothing. Each page says when the work is the right answer and what it costs.
All six

How it works
Four steps, in order.
Check the symptoms
The symptom checker gives a likely cause and things to try first, for free. It is a starting point, not a diagnosis.
Book the survey
An hour on site, outside first. Weekday mornings and afternoons, Saturdays by arrangement.
Read the report
Readings, photographs and the cause, with what to do in order of cost. Often the answer is not us.
Fix it in order
Outside and ventilation first, treatments only where the cause is confirmed, and readings again after.
Not sure what it is? That is what a survey is for.
An hour on site, outside first, with a meter, a hygrometer and a thermal camera, and a written report in three working days. About a third of our reports recommend no work by us at all.
