Have you got a claim?

We can help you and your  legal team by providing scientific and medical supportive evidence to support  your claim in terms of responsibility or subrogation. Remember mould is only one hazard from water damaged buildings and many more hidden and invisible contaminates may be present and which  we can provide the most suitable and cost effective methods of identification, suppoting your medical team with lab reports on contamination. See menu for detailed information

Medical claim

If you suffer the typical health effects and symptoms of water damaged building and can show that symptoms only appeared after the water damage or condensation event, we can often provide supportive evidence in a claim for personal injury or material damage no matter how long ago b y supporting both your leagal and medical teams.

Flood event

If your property has ever been affected by a flood, it is almost certain the restoration contractor didn't provide a certificate of decontamination and or drying. From our investigations over many years we usually find properties still contaminated, have hidden or visible damage markers and often have associated health hazards even years after the event. With the need to declare this type of event to perspective purchasers you may consider a claim against the contractors and or the insurers that nominated them. You may also recognise health effects such as respiratory illness asthma and other symptoms have developed in family members since the flood event and this can lead to personal injury claim too.

New Building claim

If you have a new building with a builders guarantee such as NHBC you are usually covered against leaks, condensation and mould. Unfortunately some builders blame lifestyle conditions and worse still, often camouflage the issues in the hope of transferring responsibility to you or insurers. We provide straightforward investigation and usually find “lifestyle issues” are red herrings and identify construction defect which is the true and insured issue.

Tenant

We have assisted many tenants in claims against landlords for failing to provide a healthy environment under various legal obligations including the Housing Health and Safety Rating System. Low cost investigation and simple air sampling is usually all that is necessary.

Suing a contractor

If a contractor has undertaken any work regarding the decontamination of your property the chances are they didn´t follow any recognised methods or protocols. If they used bleach, fungicide, special paints  or ozone they probably made existing contamination more hazardous and simply hid or moved the health issues. We provide a free appraisal of their documentation and results with a view of supporting you in a claim for incompetence and possibly personal injury or material  damage.
