Journey into how sub-floor airbricks work

Over the past few months your Association has been working in partnership with Historic England to examine the effects of airbricks on the atmosphere in the voids below suspended timber floors.

We are pleased to say our long-standing commitment to the use of airbricks and ventilation to protect ground floor timbers from decay is valid. Click on the button below to read the full article.

Invasive Plants? Correct identification is essential!

Here’s a thought for all the CSJK surveyors out there… what happens when you carry out a survey and submit a negative report, only to later discover that the site is in fact infected with invasive species?

How likely is this scenario? Probably more than you would like to think as our very own Dr Peter Fitzsimons discusses, available via the button below.

Step into Summer with some training

Safe Use of Biocides

In response to the restrictions being placed over the use of biocides, which has affected the availability of timber protection chemicals, this course has been a welcome initiative and is proving a huge success.

This one-day course will look at a selection of elements and will involve a short multiple-choice exam at the end of the day. We have also generated a Professional Users of Biocides Register for the Protection of Timber in Buildings and all candidates that pass the multiple-choice exam will be recorded on this register.

Contact the training team today on 0844 375 4301 or email [email protected].
