Questions from Colchester
Is the survey free in Colchester?
For new installations on the UK mainland, yes. The survey is free and the quote that follows is fixed and in writing. Servicing, testing and repair visits are charged, and we confirm the cost before booking.
Do you give landlords paperwork?
Every job comes with photos, product details and measured airflow, so you can show what was done and when.
Is a landlord responsible for condensation and mould?
A landlord is responsible for the condition of the property, including adequate ventilation and heating, and serious damp and mould can be a hazard under housing law. Tenants also have to use the home reasonably, but ventilation that works without effort removes most disputes.
