FAQs

Is my job too small for you?

Our experience has grown with residential properties, large and small. So, if you are a homeowner, a resident in a flat or a landlord with multiple properties, we can help. We will work with you to resolve the problem and ensure you understand what is happening at every step of the way.

Contact us and one of our experienced team will get in touch to understand your needs.

I’ve just moved into a new house / flat and I have found I have a cracks / damp. Can you help?

It is likely we can help even if it just to advise you of next steps. Our experienced surveyors will work with you to determine the cause of the issue. Once that has been established, we can then manage the repair process on your behalf, or you can take the lead yourself. We will only go as far with you as you are comfortable with.

I’ve had a fire / flood in my property. What do I do now?

Contact your insurer in the first instance to see if you can make a claim. If the damage has spread across multiple flats or the common area, we are experienced in managing these situations. Ask your loss-adjuster to contact us and we can liaise with your insurer and manage the repairs. Our fees usually in these instances come from the insurer not you as the homeowner.

Do you carry out Insurance based remediation work?

Yes, absolutely. Over the past two years, we have managed fire and flood damage repairs up to the value of £2.5million. When the unfortunate happens, we’re here to help. We’re experienced in working with Loss Adjusters, Insurance Companies, Landlords and Property Managers.

What buildings are caught under the Building Safety Act 2022?

Buildings in England which contain at least two dwellings and are over 11m or has five storeys or more.  

What is a “relevant defect?”

A ‘relevant defect’ is defined for the purpose of leasehold protections, meaning the costs of remediating the defect are covered by statutory protections.

To be correctly defined, the defect must meet multiple criteria including putting people’s safety at risk from the spread of fire or structural collapse.

If you are unsure if your building has a defined ‘relevant defect’, we will analyse any known defects to determine if they are ‘relevant’ under the Building Safety Act and / or identify the most appropriate funding route.

What does Building Registration entail and is there a deadline?

Buildings are to be registered by the Principal Accountable Person, to the Regulator (HSE).

The deadline to register buildings over 18m or 7 storeys in height was the 1st of October 2023. Registration also includes ‘Key Building Information’ which is often referred to as phase two of registration. This requires a lot more detailed information on the makeup and the history of the building.

If you have not yet registered a building that you are (or think you could be) Principal Accountable Person for, contact us now and we can help.

When is the deadline for submitting safety cases?

From April 2024, building safety case reports for all buildings 18m and over and/or seven storeys or more, must be prepared and submitted. These reports will contain detailed and often complex information, which all needs to be accurate. Our experts will produce and maintain the safety case report for your building and ensure the correct supporting documentation is included to meet this legislation.
