The Building Doctor has been established to improve understanding for homeowners and those interested in property in the potential pitfalls and problems they may encounter.It is important to identify these problems and their cause, to enable the correct remedial action to be carried out, this may be for example, through providing improved ventilation and heating to reduce the impact of condensation and black mould or injecting wall stitching ties to secure a wall and reduce the likelihood of collapse. This may be particularly important for those looking to purchase a property and or are having trouble interpreting a recently commissioned building survey report.
