Maintenance is always cheaper than a repair.
Whether or not you are planning a project, it is important to build a relationship with your building.
A health check for traditional buildings should be carried out every 5 years. A regular inspection will ensure that potential issues are identified early, enabling preventative maintenance to be carried out, before they become a more serious problem. The report will help you to understand maintenance needs and plan your budget in advance for these works.
