    Tbh I'd just explain bridging and salt contamination to the client if they wanted to prep it themselves. It's a PITA for scheduling when something is done poorly, but they get charged for the time anyway.

    Just fitted one of these and am just a bit concerned it’s going to ruin the conditions within the loft which subsequently might have an effect on the timbers. I’ve seen that the loft space should be well ventilated, my 1930’s semi isn’t that well ventilated. How concerned should I be ?

      Some builders have more specialised knowledge and experience in certain types of work….they are not all experts in everything. As long as they are honest and say a job is outside their scope, fine. This is why the plasterer is not also a bricky, chippy, sparky and corgi registered installer. Horses for courses you know.

      There are standard patterns of readings and along with other clues an experienced surveyor will know. You only need the testing oven test if it needs to be proved outright to an entity.
