House-Health ©™ :Why do i need this?
The only fully online, DIY, digital and automated Home Health Check service in the UK.
The main reason why you need HouseHealth is that the house you call your Home may be giving you and your family Health problems that you aren't even aware of. Damp that can cause mould. Air that is not being circulated correctly causing breathing issues. A lack of fresh air being allowed into your home. Heating turned off in certain rooms that is causing potential issues you aren't even seeing.
Having your children and loved ones sleep in rooms with damp and mould can cause health problems. Knowing that it is there is important but knowing how to prevent it saves your family getting sick and saves money.
The environment you live in contributes directly to you and your family's Health, Happiness and Well Being. You need to know the details of that environment so that you can manage it and improve it.
The high and increasing costs of heating your Home is an issue for many. But rather than just turning the heating off to save money, can you use the heating you can afford, smarter? Do you know which parts of your house are energy efficient and which are not and at what time of the year it is worse? Do you know where your house is leaking energy and why? Do you know where you should be focussing on improving your Home so that you protect the family as well as protect the building and increase your comfort?
You could get a Surveyor out to do an assessment of your home but finding the right surveyor with all the right knowledge and experience is not easy. Even if you did find a Surveyor it would cost quite a bit to get the survey done and then a report compiled. An alternative is to get and Energy Performnace Certificate, EPC, survey done for your home. The cost of getting a Surveyor out to do an Energy Efficiency Survey on your home costs anywhere up to £150, or even more, for a one off survey. This would give an energy rating for your home but would not cover air quality and would not look at the details we are covering.
In certain conditions you do need an EPC survey done. If you were to be moving home, for example, or if you are a Landlord. A low rating has a negative impact on the property value. You need to know what the problem areas are, what access you need to give to the surveyor, what will they be looking for and at, etc. So, before you retain an EPC surveyor you can get a head start by doing this survey yourself and making those small and cost effective improvements that will increase your official EPC rating.
We are not suggesting that if you are moving home you use this instead of a Surveyor or that if you think you have a structural issue in your property that you do not get a Surveyor in to have a look. But for the sake of a small amount of money you may wish to do this, your own survey, first so that you have a good idea of any problem areas. You then have a chance to rectify issues before they start to cost you real money.
We are offering a Survey service created by experts to give you a valuable status of your House and Home at a price that does not break the bank and gives you essential and expert information on your Home. You can also run it again after improvements have been made to get an updated report at a fraction of the cost and taking a fraction of the time.
