Site inspection report

Confirmation of stabilisation work undertaken in each area.

  • Tap on "Add Area no." to create the 1st area. This will open up Work Area 1 and allow you to start creating the details of that work area. This will allow you to confirm details of each area and detail what stabilisation work you have undertaken. It will also allow you to complete a moisture measurement plan and add in a number of readings for that area (though this may be required at the final stabilisation visit).
    You can add in new areas by either tapping "Add Area no." again or by tapping the "+ Add" button that is on the 1st area.

  • Add in a new area for each room

    There is no need to use this section to list BER items. This is about listing items where your restoration skills help to save items that can be saved.

    If the item is electrical then please try to record the make, model and serial numbers of the item.

  • Are there any pre-existing problems / issues that could affect the drying / restoration of the property?

Classification of damage

  • You need to provide details regarding the severity of the damage at the property.

  • Is the property habitable?

  • Is the condition of the property minor enough to allow the customer to still live at the property? Do they still have use of cooking, washing and toilet facilities? If not at present could your prompt actions affect this?

  • Consider how bad the damage is and whether immediate or prompt action could reduce the impact of the damage and make the property habitable sooner rather than later. Consider this when putting your action plan together.

  • What category does the damage fall into?

  • Cosmetic: classed as damage to the finishes of the property, eg smoke / soot / water damage to wallpaper, laminate floors, etc.
    Minor structural: classed as damage to plaster, flooring materials, etc.
    Major structural: As minor but with damage to structural timbers, major roof damages, etc.

  • Ensure that you consider the severity of the damage and highlight what would be required to minimise the potential for secondary damage.
