Booking, step by step
- Start with the address. With the type and bedroom count we can quote a fixed figure immediately.
- Pick the half of the day that suits. We ring with the confirmed time the day before the visit.
- Provide access. Every room matters, and so does the loft — it does not have to be the owner who lets us in.
- Collect the result. Lodging happens the same or next day, and the PDF lands in your inbox.
What the assessor looks at in a Silhill property
Silhill is characterised by mature 1930s detached and semi-detached houses in leafy, established streets — the streets around Silhill Hall and Brueton Park, and out through Silhill Hall Road, Alderbrook, Lode Heath and St Alphege. On inter-war and 1930s housing, the assessor is mainly recording unfilled cavity walls, thin or compressed loft insulation, and original suspended timber floors that lose heat from below.
Almost all of this stock is on mains gas. If the boiler is more than fifteen years old, replacing it is usually the next best points-per-pound after insulation.
The visit takes 30 to 60 minutes for a typical Silhill home. Nothing is invasive — but the more evidence you can produce, the better your rating is likely to be.
How to prepare
- Clear access to the loft hatch — an assessor who cannot see the insulation must assume the worst
- Have the boiler make, model and service record to hand
- Unlock any outbuildings, garages or annexes that form part of the property
- Dig out building-control paperwork for any extension
- Find any cavity-wall or loft-insulation certificates
- Note the age of the windows and whether the units are sealed double glazing
