21 June 2018 -Lets be honest as Building Surveyor's we see a lot of timber decay.  Our old adversary Dry Rot should never be underestimated and it will always find a way to flourish.  Here we see a fruiting body on a Treated timber, not something you see every day!

MEES – a new acronym for Landlords to be concerned about (Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards). Fortunately, the scheme applies to England and Wales only, and is not applicable in Scotland. In England and Wales it is now no longer permissible to let properties with an F & G Energy Performance Certificate rating, without carrying out improvements to the energy efficiency of the property. In Scotland we have the Non Domestic equivalent in the shape of the Section 63 Regulations, which at this time, only apply to properties in excess of 1,000sqm (10,750sqft). 

If you have any questions regarding energy efficiency, please contact William Mair.
