We have designed our reports to be comprehensive, while being easy to understand with a summary of issues, followed by photos that show further detail.
​
You are welcome to be a part of the inspection, enabling a more personal insight to be gained. If you're unable to attend, you will be called shortly after the inspection to discuss any faults found.

Our services:
Rented Houses
Rented houses will be required to meet or exceed the appropriate insulation standard for that type of dwelling and its locality, by the 1st of July 2019.

Targeted Areas
The area underneath a house with a crawl space and the area above the ceilings where accessible, will need to meet a certain R value.

R Value
R value is the resistance insulation has to heat loss through it. The higher the R value is, the higher the resistance is to heat loss.

Existing Insulation
Older dwellings that have not had additional insulation installed, are unlikely to meet the standard. Some have none at all and the insulation in those that do, is usually too thin and often settled.
​Although aluminium foil under houses doesn't have to be removed if it is in good condition, it may not be repaired or installed due to being a good conductor of electricity.
​
Establishing The R Values Of Existing Insulation
As part of an inspection, an approximate R value for the various types of insulation will be provided, by using a BRANZ guide of appraised materials.
(BRANZ is an independent and impartial research, testing, consulting and information company providing services and resources for the building industry).
The R value can also be established by Insulation Specialists who can then provide a quote to make improvements as need be.

Testing For The Presence Of Meth (indicative test)
An area of 100 square centimetres (usually of wall lining) is swabbed in each room. The composited (group of) samples are then analysed by an independent accredited laboratory that also supplies the kits.
​The result will show a figure, being the total amount of micro-grams per 100 square centimetres that was accumulated on the samples. The total could be from one, all or a number of rooms. This is the most economical method of testing.
