SAP stands for “Standard Assessment Procedure”. It is the official government approced system for assessing the energy rating for a new home. ASAP Rating is a way of comparing the performance of different homes. It results in a figure between 1 and 100+. The higher the SAP rating, the lower the fuel costs and the lower the associated emissions or carbon dioxide.
Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) is the checking of the safety of portable (as opposed to fixed) electrical appliances on your property. Confusingly, portable appliances include stationary equipment like fridges and washing machines, as well as things like TVs, kettles and space heaters. Getting these appliance tested with a PAT is a great way to ensure and prove their safety, allowing you to efficiently fulfill your duties as a landlord.
As the responsible person, you must carry out and regularly review a fire risk assessment of the premises. This will identify what you need to do to prevent fire and keep people safe.
Carrying out the assessment
Asbestos-containing materials (ACM) are either known to contain asbestos, or presumed to contain asbestos.
The purpose of surveying is to make a ‘materials assessment‘, i.e.
Display Energy Certificates (DECs) are designed to show the energy performance of public buildings. They use a scale that runs from ‘A’ to ‘G’ – ‘A’ being the most efficient and ‘G’ being the least.
Building Regulations asks that dwellings are tested before completion (pre-completion testing). To demonstrate suitable sound insulation. In compliance with “Approved Document E of the Building Regulations for England and Wales – Resistance to the Passage of Sound”. Our team of sound test engineers tests new builds and conversions. We offer our services to everybody, from first-time developers to large construction firms.
Ventilation testing is legally required to verify the practical performance of ventilation in new dwellings or converted properties and measures the airflow for any new property constructed.By ensuring this testing is completed, you’ll be complying with Part F of the Building Regulations that was first introduced in 2010.We offer our services to everybody, from first-time developers to large construction firms.
Air Permeability can be very important to Part L or Section 6 building regulations compliance. Often when a proposed building is to have a good standard of building fabric, when this is coupled with achieving an effective air tightness the carbon dioxide emissions can be dramatically reduced, helping the building to meet energy targets.
SBEM (Simplified Building Energy Model) is a piece of software used to demonstrate compliance with Part L2 of Building Regulations. SBEM calculates the monthly energy use and carbon dioxide emissions of a building based on the building geometry, construction, HVAC, and lighting. Also, some commercial extension and conversion projects will require an SBEM Calculation.
The HSE guidance document Legionaries’ disease: The control of Legionella in hot and cold water systems (HSG 274) states that “all water systems require a legionella risk assessment” and “it is a legal duty to carry out an assessment to identify and assess whether there is a risk posed by exposure to Legionella from the hot and cold water system or any work associated with it”. We specialize in Legionella Risk Assessments and the implementation of legionella control measures. Our aim is to offer a cost-effective, professional, skilled and swift response to all health and safety problems.
