Timber decking has become a popular addition to many homes in this country. Any outside space can be transformed by adding a Timber Deck to create a comfortable leisure area whilst giving seamless transition between home and garden. Decking blends with all types of gardens, and design can be tailored to suit all sizes and purses. Whether you prefer an elevated deck, a freestanding island deck or a small intimate deck beyond your French or patio doors, the choice is yours. We listen to your individual needs and carry out a site survey before designing your custom built deck that will give you the best possible solution for your family, home or garden.
MacMillan Preservation are specialist at protecting and enhancing above ground and below ground dry living environments. Our experienced surveyor is able to assess and specify treatments to convert damp basements, cellars and areas of severe damp penetration into dry habitable usable spaces. Each project is unique in its own circumstances and our surveyor will select the most effective solution according to construction, the localised water table conditions, the planned use of the space, the practicalities of treatment and any detrimental factors such as movement of the structure.
MacMillan's have specialist Loft Conversion experience and are more than capable of undertaking even the most challenging of Loft Conversion projects. We regularly work on projects designed by architects employed by our clients. Either taking on the full project management role or working together with the clients' architect to deliver the project brief. We can also contract creative and professional architects directly and provide a complete design and build package, including contracting with surveyors, structural engineers, handling council planning applications, building warrants, building control stage inspections and completion applications.
Rising Dampness occurs when water rises through the pores of masonry due to capillary action. The extent of dampness can vary due to wall thickness, the size of the pores and the local water table. As the wall becomes wet, hygroscopic salts are carried upwards from the ground and evaporate on the wall surface causing damage to the wall finish and any decorations. If you live in a semi-detached or terrace house you share a wall (or walls) with your neighbour - this is known as the party wall. It separates buildings belonging to different owners.
