Construction/Finish
-
What is the property constructed of?
- Brick
- Dashed (aggregate)
- Hanging Tiles
- Insulated and Coated
- No Fines
- Poured Concrete
- Rendered
- Stone
- Timber Framed
- Tyrolean
-
Are we removing any of the dashing to install the frames?
-
The render will be reinstated, but due to aging and atmospheric conditions, it can't be guaranteed that it will match the existing finish
-
What type of Render is on the property?
- Acrylic
- Mineral
- Monocouche (Fassacouche / K-Rend / Parex / Weber)
- Silicone
- Standard 6:1:1 Mix - Sand:Cement:Hydrated Lime
-
Anything other than standard sand/cement/lime is very difficult to patch and often requires the services of a professional, external contractor to resolve.

-
Will the Tyrolean coating be disturbed as part of the remediation process?
-
Ensure a flicker gun is specified on the materials section of this report. The texture coating will be reinstated, but due to aging and atmospheric conditions, it can't be guaranteed that it will match the existing finish.
-
Are the tiles in good order?
-
Document & photograph any missing tiles and ensure the customer is aware.
-
Photograph the hanging tiles for our records
-
Can we remove the frames without damaging the insulation and/or external coating?
-
This type of finish is extremely difficult to patch and is outside the skillset of our contractors. Any damage will require the services of a professional to rectify.

SITE FINDINGS
-
Was a Relative Humidity (RH) reading taken during the Inspection
-
If more than one reading was taken (i.e. in different rooms) Please Document the mean average RH reading
-
The Relative Humidity of the property is high enough to support mould growth and is outside the scope of SafeStyle(UK). Any surface mould (black or white) is potentially hazardous to health and should be cleaned as soon as it appears. It may be advisable to consult a mould treatment/removal expert for professional advice if the problem persists. The use of a dehumidifier will help counter excess moisture content in the air within a closed area. i.e. place it in the room where mould is forming and close the window(s) and door(s). It's advisable to open all windows every day for five minutes to allow stale air to be replaced with clean, fresh air.
-
Mould growth is unlikely to occur at these levels of Relative Humidity (RH) though condensation can still form on cold surfaces, such as windows and walls and isn't an indication in any way of the failure of the replacement frames. Indeed condensation often increases with the introduction of new energy efficient windows & doors as any previous draughts are minimised, thereby slowing down air flow from inside to outside. It is advisable to open all windows, every day for five minutes to allow stale air to be replaced with clean, fresh air.
-
What was the internal temperature of the property?
-
Was a Dew Point reading taken during the Inspection?
-
What was the Dew Point Temperature in Centigrade?
-
The closer the Dew Point is in relation to the internal temperature, the more likely you are to see condensation forming, as the air becomes saturated. A Dew Point of 16° and an internal temperature of 16° would see the air fully saturated. At this point the air is unable to contain any more moisture and condensation occurs.
-
Was Acoustic Testing equipment used during the inspection?
-
What was the maximum recorded noise level outside?
-
What the maximum recorded noise level inside?
-
Have we achieved a 31db differential between the upper and lower figured recorded
-
Any sound intrusion isn't a result of any failure of the window but likely factors outside our control, such as floors, walls and ceilings.
-
The failure is likely a result of poorly insulated reveals and/or external seals. These will be remediated as part of the proposed works.
-
Was a Protimeter used?
-
Is damp present?
-
Please document the level of damp.
Asbestos
-
Is there any Asbestos on the property?
-
Are we likely to disturb the Asbestos during installation?
-
Is the potential disturbance directly adjacent to the frames?
-
Ensure an Asbestos Form is completed and accompanies this report, along with extensive photographs
-
Is the potential disturbance related to a roof or other ACM?
-
Ensure an Asbestos Form is completed and accompanies this report, along with extensive photographs
-
Ensure an Asbestos Form is completed, highlighting where the ACM is and that the form accompanies this report, along with extensive photographs
Access Solution(s)
ACCESS SOLUTION(S)
-
Is an Access Solution required to complete any of the necessary works?
-
Please ensure an Access Solution Form is attached to this report and that the location of any Scaffolding/Easi-Dec is clearly drawn on the photos, along with all other relevant information requested on said form, including overhead cables and parking for a 7.5m long wagon.
