If I have a damp issue, will your survey stop it from coming back?
Our damp surveys accurately diagnose the cause of damp. While we identify the root problem and recommend effective solutions, the long-term prevention of damp returning depends on implementing our advice and, in some cases, adjusting your household habits. We aim to provide lasting solutions.
What common worries or problems do people have about their home's condition?
Many homeowners in the uk are concerned about black mould on walls or ceilings, high energy bills, or a consistently cold house. These issues often point to underlying problems with energy efficiency or structural integrity.
How does the online service process work from booking to results?
Simply call us or email us at info@energyassessmentbureau.com to explain your specific needs or advice you require. One of our expert advisors will then tailor a solution to your expectations. While we offer online guidance, we often book an in-person survey to ensure a thorough assessment and accurate recommendations for your uk home.
How do your services help solve problems like high bills or damp?
After identifying issues through an EPC or condition check, we provide impartial recommendations for effective measures. These might include improved ventilation, correcting incorrectly laid loft insulation, wall insulation upgrades, or boiler improvements. Our goal is to empower you with solutions for a healthier, more energy-efficient home.
What common misunderstandings do you help customers clarify about energy efficiency?
A common misunderstanding is the impact of daily habits. Many customers are surprised to learn that leaving appliances on standby can still consume a significant amount of energy (up to 70%). Even turning your room thermostat down by a few degrees can dramatically cut costs.
What else can I do to save energy and prevent damp?
Educating consumers is key! Topping up loft insulation can significantly reduce bills. Regarding damp, ensuring good ventilation by opening windows after showers or cooking, and avoiding drying clothes on radiators, can substantially reduce the risk. Small changes in habit make a big difference.
