Windows are a building’s link to the outside world; they are essential for light, ventilation, warmth, privacy and security. Windows and glazed structures can be central to entire buildings, but they can be susceptible to damage and disintegration from wood rot and mould. CONSURV’s Window Consultancy provides:

• Onsite assessment of windows in new and old buildings to ascertain their stability, strength and capacity.
• The use of non-destructive methods of assessment and treatment, including resistograph and dampness meters.
• Recommendation on whether windows should be restored or replaced, including independent advice on available films, protective coatings and other treatments.
• Coordination with window companies to ensure any remedial work is performed to the required standard.
• Laboratory analysis of any mould or rot, and a treatment recommendation based on the specific spore.
• Independent assessment of all other glazed elements such as the domes and stained glass.
