Built around the work.

A survey with a fee of its own.

The damp and timber survey can be Billed at a Fixed price, with your fee as its line. HMRC standard rates surveying, even for a new build. A survey job opened on the New job sheet carries that fee.

Damp courses in CIS, woodworm spraying out.

HMRC counts certain damp-proofing treatments as construction under CIS, and leaves out insecticidal wood treatment, the spraying of timber for woodworm. The woodworm treatment is never reverse charged.

When the damp comes back.

A return to treated work can be a new job marked This is a callback of… the finished treatment, with Why it went back out, such as Same fault again. Callbacks in Performance gives each kind of work’s rate.

A treated house, sold with its record.

A guarantee can outlast the owner who paid for it. Move on the site’s sheet hands the address, with its appliances and photographs, to the new owner. Jobs here still lists the survey and the treatment.

Questions, answered.

Can the office write the guarantee for a treatment?
No. It writes no guarantee and arranges no guarantee insurance. A field added On every job under Your own fields can hold the guarantee’s number, so the treatment job keeps it.
Can it take readings straight from my moisture meter?
No. Nothing connects to a meter or a data logger. A figure is typed into a Reading on the sheet, in the Unit you gave that question, such as %WME.
Is there a damp survey or mortgage report template?
No. A damp survey is a sheet you build from Reading, Photo and Signature questions, and no mortgage report form comes with it.
