Our Services
At One Stop Surveys, we offer a wide range of safety, compliance, and inspection services to ensure that your home meets the highest legal and safety standards. Our expert team is dedicated to providing detailed assessments and actionable insights to protect your property and its occupants.
Fire Risk Assessments
A Fire Risk Assessment is a crucial step in preventing fire hazards and ensuring compliance with fire safety regulations. Our certified professionals conduct a thorough evaluation of your home, identifying fire risks such as faulty wiring, flammable materials, or blocked escape routes. We provide a detailed report with recommendations to improve fire safety, ensuring that your home is well-prepared for emergencies.
Fire Detection / Alarm Systems
Early warning systems play a vital role in preventing fire-related disasters. Our Fire Detection & Alarm System services include the installation, inspection, and maintenance of smoke detectors, heat sensors, and alarm panels. We ensure that these systems function correctly and are compliant with current safety regulations, giving you peace of mind that your home is protected at all times.
Emergency Lighting
In the event of a power failure, emergency lighting ensures that escape routes remain illuminated, guiding occupants safely out of the building. We provide installation, testing, and regular maintenance of emergency lighting systems, ensuring that they remain functional during emergencies. Properly maintained lighting not only enhances safety but is also a legal requirement in multi-occupancy residences.
Legionella Risk Assessments
Legionella bacteria can develop in stagnant or poorly maintained water systems, posing serious health risks such as Legionnaires’ disease. Our Legionella Risk Assessment service identifies potential water system vulnerabilities, checks for compliance with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guidelines, and provides actionable steps to reduce the risk of contamination. This is particularly important for properties with water storage tanks, cooling systems, or older plumbing.
Asbestos Surveys
Asbestos was commonly used in building materials until its health risks were widely recognized. Asbestos fibers, when disturbed, can cause severe respiratory diseases. Our Asbestos Survey service includes a detailed inspection of your property to locate and assess the condition of any asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). We provide guidance on safe management or removal, ensuring compliance with Control of Asbestos Regulations and protecting residents from exposure.
Gas Safety Inspections
Faulty gas appliances can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning, gas leaks, and potential explosions. Our Gas Safety Inspection service ensures that gas appliances, pipework, and flues are in safe working condition. We provide a Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) for landlords, homeowners, and property managers, verifying that all gas systems meet legal safety standards.
Electrical Installations Safety Inspections
Electrical faults are a leading cause of house fires and electrical hazards. Our Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) evaluates the integrity, safety, and efficiency of your electrical system. This includes circuit testing, wiring inspections, and checks for outdated or hazardous installations. Whether you own a property or rent it out, ensuring electrical safety is essential for protecting occupants and meeting compliance standards.
PAT Testing
PAT Testing is a process that ensures the safety of portable electrical appliances such as kettles, heaters, washing machines, and more. We test appliances for wiring faults, insulation issues, and overall electrical integrity, helping to prevent electrical shocks and fires. This service is especially valuable for landlords and businesses that provide appliances to tenants.
Damp Inspections
Damp can cause serious structural damage, leading to mold growth, weakened walls, and respiratory health issues. Our Damp Inspection service uses advanced moisture-detection tools to identify hidden leaks, rising damp, and condensation-related problems. We provide detailed reports and recommendations for remediation to protect your home from long-term damage.
EPC’s
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rates the energy efficiency of your property on a scale from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). Our energy assessors evaluate insulation, heating systems, ventilation, and overall energy usage, providing recommendations to improve efficiency and reduce energy costs. An EPC is legally required for selling or renting a property in the UK.
Lift Records & Inspections
If your property has a residential lift, regular inspections are essential to ensure safety and compliance. Our Lift Records & Inspections service includes checking mechanical components, emergency stop systems, door sensors, and weight capacities. We provide detailed service logs and maintenance records, ensuring compliance with Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations (LOLER).
HHSRS Inspections
The Housing Health and Safety Rating System (HHSRS) is a government framework used to assess hazards and risks in residential properties. Our HHSRS Onboarding & Quarterly Inspections help landlords and property managers maintain safe and habitable conditions by identifying risks such as damp, poor ventilation, fire hazards, and security issues. Regular inspections ensure compliance with rental housing standards, reducing legal and financial risks.
