Single Defect Reports
The single defect report is most commonly required by existing home owners, landlords or Property Managers who have been made aware of a problem affecting a particular part of a property and who require a bespoke report and advice on a specific matter that has been drawn to their attention. Recent examples of such reports include the following:
- Investigating and advising on persistent, significant dampness affecting a ground floor flat in Tregony.
- Advising on a condensation problem affecting a two bedroom tenanted house in Falmouth.
- Investigation of a roof leak to a commercial property in Central Square, Newquay.
- Investigating the cause of dampness affecting a brick gable end wall to a property in Trispen and advising on repair options to manage or remedy the matter.
- Providing a report to a management company on the condition of flat roofs to three blocks of flats in Newquay, illustrated with colour photographs and advising on routine overhaul/repairs to keep the roofs serviceable until planned renewal.
- Providing a report on the condition of two chimneys to a rural property near Truro and advising on the cause of damp ingress and possible repair options.
