Problems with houses and buildings

Accumulations of household waste

Large amounts of waste may be a health risk, cause a nuisance, or provide food or shelter for rats.

Asbestos

Asbestos was once used in many building materials but it's now known to be hazardous to health.

Damp and mould

Damp and mould are common in homes. Understanding the cause of the dampness is key to treating it.

Empty and eyesore properties

We can take action on eyesore properties, and properties which are vacant and open for access.
