Environment and Job Waste
A visit to check a home for damp can sometimes leave odds and ends behind. This short note explains who deals with any such waste and what to do if you would like to raise a point about it before or after a booking.
Waste created during a visit
When you book a damp survey through Damp Surveys NI, your booking details are passed to the specialist who carries out the work at your home. Any waste that the visit itself creates is the responsibility of that firm. Clearing it away, deciding how it is disposed of and leaving the property in a fit state afterwards all fall to the business doing the survey, rather than to this website. Because every home is different, the amount of waste, if any, will vary from one visit to the next. Some inspections may leave almost nothing behind, while others could produce a small quantity of material, depending on what the specialist needs to do to assess the walls, floors or other areas involved. Whatever arises, its handling sits with the firm on site. It is worth keeping in mind that this only covers waste connected with the survey work. Clutter, old fittings or rubbish already present at the property before the visit are a separate matter and are not part of what the firm takes on simply by attending.
Raising a question about waste
Perhaps you want to know how any leftover material from the survey will be dealt with, or you have a particular wish, such as keeping a certain area clear or having something taken away rather than left in a bin. In either case, you are welcome to ask. The simplest way is to mention it when you make your booking, or to send a message afterwards using the enquiry form. Your question will be shared with the specialist carrying out the work, since they are the people able to give a proper answer about clearing up after their own visit. Raising any concerns early gives everyone the best chance of agreeing on arrangements that suit your home.
