Are you looking for ways to flood your home with natural light? A light-filled home not only looks more spacious and inviting, but can also improve your mood and reduce energy costs. Here are five essential considerations to transform your home: 1. Install full-height bi-folding French doors along with a roof lantern. This combination creates a stunning glass wall that allows natural light to flow freely into your home. 2. Add additional windows wherever possible to increase your glass-to-wall ratio. Every new window is an opportunity for more daylight to enter your home. 3. Choose light-coloured exterior finishes that reflect rather than absorb light. This can significantly enhance the brightness of your interior spaces. 4. Create an open patio area directly outside your doors and windows. Removing obstructions allows maximum light to enter your home throughout the day. 5. Consider open-plan layouts inside your home. By removing interior walls, light can penetrate deeper into your living spaces rather than being blocked.

When purchasing a property, looking to carry repairs or make an investment, it's crucial to understand exactly what you're getting into.

Here are some considerations you should be taking into account when looking for a surveyor for your next home. 1. Are they RICS Qualified? 2. Are they a local firm? 3. Do they have good references and experience with similar projects? 4. How good is their communication? Understand each elements by reading our latest blog article at: https://lnkd.in/dHMRwVFC

As part of our comprehensive asset management planning service for this London-based primary school, we conducted a detailed roof survey that revealed several concerning issues. Our inspection identified multiple areas of water ponding, blocked gutters on several building sections, substantial moss growth across the roof surface, and numerous unsecured cables. These issues are common on poorly maintained roofs and can be resolved with regular maintenance going forward. If you are facing similar issues make sure to carry out proper maintenance and targeted maintenance to prevent costly repairs down the line this will help maximise the lifespan of the existing roof system. #BuildingSurveying #ProjectManagement #School #Roofing #Roofing Contractors #RICS #CharteredSurveyors #EssexSchools #LondonSchools #SchoolRoofing #MundayAndCramer
