How do I know if I have a damp problem?

Signs include musty smells, peeling wallpaper, mould growth, tide marks on walls, and deteriorating plaster. A specialist damp survey (typically £200–£400) can diagnose whether it is rising damp, penetrating damp, or condensation — each requires different treatment.

Is asbestos dangerous in my home?

Asbestos is only dangerous when disturbed and fibres become airborne. If asbestos-containing materials are in good condition and undisturbed, they can often be safely left in place and managed. If you plan to renovate, get a professional asbestos survey before starting any work.

How much does a skip cost?

A standard 6-yard skip costs £200–£350 depending on your location and hire period (typically 1–2 weeks). Larger 8-yard skips cost £250–£450. Prices vary by region and waste type — hazardous waste costs more to dispose of.

What is an EPC and do I need one?

An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rates your home's energy efficiency from A (most efficient) to G (least). You need a valid EPC when selling or renting a property. An assessment by a qualified energy assessor typically costs £60–£120.
