Listed Building Surveys

peter ellicock • Jun 25, 2023

Listed building surveys are essential for anyone who owns or is looking to buy a property that is protected by law due to its historic or architectural importance. Without the proper survey, you may not know the full extent of the building's history or possible issues that could impact its value or safety. With listed building surveys, professionals can thoroughly inspect the property, identifying any structural or aesthetic issues and giving you peace of mind. Knowing the condition of a listed building can also help with future renovations or restorations, ensuring that the building's unique character is preserved for decades to come. Whether you're looking to buy or own a listed building, it's always best to get a professional survey to ensure that it remains a source of pride for generations to come.

Salfate Attack on chimneys

by peter ellicock • 25 May, 2023
As homeowners, we rarely think about the health of our chimneys until something goes wrong. And unfortunately, one of the most destructive issues that can arise is a salfate ate attack. This chemical reaction occurs when sulfur-containing materials, like coal, are burned in the chimney, creating sulfuric acid that eats away at the masonry. Over time, this can weaken the structure and even lead to chimney collapse. It's important to have your chimney inspected regularly and to address any signs of salfate damage as soon as possible in order to keep your home safe and secure.

Radon Gas

by peter ellicock • 26 Apr, 2023
Radon gas is a hazardous and potentially deadly substance that is found in the soil, rocks, and even the air we breathe. This invisible, odorless gas is formed by the natural breakdown of uranium in the earth's crust, and can seep into buildings through cracks and gaps in foundations, walls, and floors. Exposure to high levels of radon gas has been linked to an increased risk of lung cancer, making it a serious health concern for homeowners and renters alike. Despite its dangers, many people are unaware of the presence of radon in their homes, making regular testing and mitigation efforts all the more important.
