Timber Preservation
Our timber preservation services address fungal decay, woodworm infestations, and structural damage for residential and commercial properties. Surveyors identify causes like dry rot or wet rot and implement treatments including fungicidal applications, timber replacement, and wall sterilisation. We provide full reinstatement from structural repairs to redecoration, ensuring long-term stability and compliance with industry standards.
Asbestos Surveys
As the only UKAS-accredited asbestos surveyors in Tayside, we offer management, refurbishment, and demolition surveys. Our ISO 17020-certified team identifies asbestos-containing materials, providing detailed reports for safe management or removal. Surveys meet legal requirements for commercial, industrial, and domestic properties, with re-inspection services to maintain compliance.
Damp Proofing
We diagnose and resolve rising, penetrating, and condensation damp through specialist treatments. Services include damp-proof course installation, waterproofing for basements, and ventilation improvements. Our approach prevents structural damage and health risks from mould, with guarantees on completed works and insurance-backed protection through QANW.
Insurance Repairs
We manage fire, flood, and escape-of-water damage claims from assessment to reinstatement. Our team prepares detailed reports for insurers, oversees drying works, and coordinates repairs while liaising with loss adjusters. Services cover structural repairs, content restoration, and compliance with insurance policy requirements.
Renovations
Our renovation services include attic conversions, kitchen/bathroom refurbishments, and extension projects. With expertise in historic and modern buildings, we deliver tailored solutions for residential and commercial clients across Scotland, maintaining structural integrity while meeting contemporary needs.
