We are frequently phoned by homeowners asking can we give them help for an hour or two only. The answer is 'yes, we can!'
We have advised on countless modest energy efficiency projects, such as installing external wall insulation, internal wall insulation (aka drylining), reglazing etc. We also advise on dampness, mould or persistent cold. See the Problem Building Assessment Service for more on the latter category.
Our domestic hourly rate is lower than our commercial rate. Most visits take about 1.5 hours, so the cost is low for the quality of advice gained. If a written report is required folowing the visit we must obviously charge for this also: many clients prefer to take notes during the consultation instead.
