A CLEAR START TO THE JOB.
Document what is happening
Photograph the affected area from a distance and close up. Note when it appeared, whether it changes with weather or occupancy and any related leaks, smells or ventilation problems.
Investigation and follow-on work
The appropriate next step may involve inspection, moisture assessment and input from different trades. The aim should be to identify likely causes before remedial repairs are specified.
For landlords and agents
Include the property type, room, occupancy information, earlier reports or repairs and any urgent health or safety concerns. Forge can discuss coordination of the investigation and follow-on work.
Availability and the appropriate trade depend on the job. Regulated work must be completed and certified by a person holding the relevant registration or competence.
