Property building surveying and preventative maintenance for residential and commercial properties.
Planned preventative maintenance can help you implement and manage a strategic PPM (planned preventative maintenance) approach that efficiently maintains, repairs and improves property over the long term.
We can identify costs and timescales involved in the regular maintenance of an asset and plan these accordingly.
We assess and negotiate over the cost of restoring a property to its original condition, on behalf of a landlord or tenant.
We act quickly to identify and plan the work needed to correct defects.
We provide a full record of a building’s condition. This is an invaluable back-up for potential issues in the future.
Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations 2002 (DSEAR) (SI 2002 No.2776) is the primary legislation for controlling substances that cause fires and explosions in the workplace.
Before work, employers must assess risks from dangerous substances by identifying and examining:
This helps employers decide how to eliminate or reduce risks. If no significant risk exists, no further action is needed. If risks are present, employers must take additional measures to comply with DSEAR. Employers with five or more employees must record significant risk assessment findings.
CDC can assist in assessing any associated risks.
We evaluate the costs involved to ensure adequate cover is in place for insurance or management purposes of buildings and portfolios.
We prioritise accuracy in measured surveys, minimising errors, and ensuring compliance with Land Registry standards for construction and lease requirements.
We use digital tools and data management laser scanning.
As part of our monitoring process we are able to assess specifications, quality of workmanship and materials, cost and compliance against your specific requirements.
Asbestos consists of naturally occurring fibrous minerals. Due to health risks from inhalation, the importation of blue, brown, and white asbestos is banned in the UK. People may encounter asbestos in existing building materials and products.
Regulations include the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and its Approved Code of Practice and guidance. The dutyholder, responsible for managing asbestos, could be the building owner, landlord, or the person/organization in charge of maintenance. They must protect people from asbestos exposure risks.
CDC offers Asbestos Awareness courses and conducts Asbestos surveys to assist dutyholders in fulfilling their legal obligations.
We can inspect and diagnose the different causes of water ingress into a property.
We can assesses structural issues within a property and ensure the structural integrity.
We ensure the structural integrity of shared walls is not compromised and can act for the building or adjoining owner
