Preliminary Inspection

A high-level overview of the damages affecting the external joinery, any root causes, such as, water ingress, poor ventilation or poorly executed previous repairs.

More Info

Understanding the condition of external joinery

Effective and sustainable maintenance is the goal for any housing association, maintenance company, or property manager. To approach a maintenance project in the most effective way, having a clear understanding of the technical condition of the exterior joinery is essential. Our ‘Preliminary Inspection’ provides the solution.

Through this assessment, we offer a comprehensive overview of the type of wood damage and provide a recommendation for repair based on Repair Care’s established methods, along with the required level of training.

Preliminary Inspection

Our inspection in 5 steps

To complete a Preliminary Inspection, Repair Care’s Technical Advisor goes through the following five steps:

1. Preparation

Together with the client, we discuss the exact issues and requirements. Are the underlying issues clear? We then ask you to inform the residents of our arrival in preparation.

2. Sample

A Repair Care Technical Advisor will then visit the project on the agreed day. We select representative homes and carry out the inspection after the residents’ consent.

3. Inspection

We inspect several wooden structures of the selected houses. The inspection continues until we have a representative picture of the condition of all the exterior joinery.

4. Inspection Report

In an Inspection report, we list the defects and types of damage found. While doing so, we record our findings with photos.

Based on the findings, we draw up a recommendation for timber repair, and provide a example of what can be expected in a survey report. We can also indicate the level of training required for implementation of these repairs.

“The Repair Care epoxy resin system is an essential part of our restoration service. We specialise in restoring and servicing sash windows, predominantly in listed buildings. The Repair Care system allows us to make spot repairs on site where traditionally the unit may have had to be removed and taken to the work shop. This not only speeds up the job – but keeps remedial costs down for the client.”
