Britannia Preservation provides several different types of report ranging from basic specifications and estimates through to detailed condition reports. Britannia Preservation has always endeavoured to provide high quality documents that contain a full explanation of the cause of defects and appropriate remedial measures, supported by photographs, thermal images, and detailed CAD sketches. In addition, Britannia Preservation's inspection reports will typically include valuable supporting information relating to sustainability, environmental issues, legislation, and health and safety concerns.
Britannia Preservation is renowned for the quality and professionalism of their supporting documentation and we are extremely proud of our long-standing reputation within the Yorkshire area and the local community. The documentation provided in support of surveys and estimates become the basis of both contract work sheets and guarantees, and their clarity and accuracy is therefore paramount.
Clients engaging Britannia Preservation can be assured that they will receive high quality reports containing useful information and recommendations. Why settle for anything less?
Photographic images can sometimes be very useful for highlighting defects that are not always readily visible to the human eye. For example, some types of dampness tend to show up more clearly in photographs. We also use thermal imaging to check for dampness and thermal anomalies which are invisible to the human eye.
The human eye cannot see light in the infrared spectrum. Thermal imaging uses this waveband to reveal thermal anomalies that can be associated with dampness related defects, condensation, poor thermal insulation, and other defects.
Applying dense cement renders can actually create significant problems: for example, condensation. Britannia Preservation use thermal images in their reports to enable the reader to visualise precisely where a problem is located and to assist in the explanation of technical issues.
Damp and timber reports can contain technical information and terms that might be unfamiliar to the client. Some defects, such as dry rot might involve the reader having to visualise a fungus that they may never have seen. Our surveyors realise that photographic images of these unusual conditions provide for a much more comprehensive and understandable report.
In most cases, specifications and estimates would not be complete without an accompanying sketch to identify the precise locations and items included in the remedial works scheme. Britannia Preservation's surveyors use CAD software to produce, where required, detailed, colour coded floor plans, sections, and elevations, and to illustrate technical or complex construction details that would be difficult to communicate verbally.
