Your home MOT
To identify future maintenance and make sure your home is safe, we carry out a periodic ‘MOT’ for your home.
This takes place at the same time as the external cyclical decoration survey. You will receive a letter offering an appointment. We’ll also give contact details for the surveyor in case you need to rearrange the appointment.
The visit will include the following:
- A gas safety audit. Our gas engineer will check that the last gas safety check was carried out satisfactorily.
- A periodic electrical safety check. An electrician will carry out the statutory electrical safety check in your property and issue an electrical safety certificate.
- An insulation survey. Our contractor, Osborne Energy, will assess the insulation in the loft and the draught excluder around the windows and doors and recommend any necessary improvements.
- An asbestos survey. Our surveyor will carry out an asbestos survey and identify any asbestos in your home and provide guidance on its maintenance.
- A linked fire alarm check. Our fire alarm contractor will test the fire alarms in your home, if they are linked to a communal system.
- A common area fire risk assessment. Our surveyor will survey the common areas in your property and produce a fire risk assessment of the area.
- A stock condition survey. Our surveyor will carry out a survey of all the major elements in your property, such as kitchen and bathroom fittings and assess when they should be replaced.
- An Energy Performance Certificate survey. Our surveyor will carry out an energy survey of your property and issue you with a certificate, which will give you details about the energy costs in your home.
