We at Corybeg Services are dedicated to offering a range of services to ensure full compliance within the current regulations.
Air tightness testing is a crucial process for assessing the energy efficiency of buildings. According to Scottish building regulations Section 6, all new domestic dwellings are to be tested for air tightness as a mandatory measure.
In Scotland, a Legionella risk assessment is a legal requirement for landlords and property managers to ensure that water systems do not pose a risk of Legionnaires’ disease.
Under the Housing (Scotland) Act 2014, landlords are legally required to carry out PAT testing on all portable electrical appliances they provide in rental properties.
Corybeg Services provides professional air tightness testing to identify air leaks, reduce heat loss, and optimize insulation.
Air tightness testing in Scotland is a compliance requirement under Section 6 of the Scottish Building Standards, aimed at improving the energy efficiency and environmental performance of buildings. It measures how much air leaks through a building’s envelope by using calibrated blower door technology to pressurise or depressurise the space, helping identify gaps and unintended ventilation paths.
Based on Deeside in NE Scotland, our accurate assessments and expert guidance help you lower energy costs while ensuring compliance with the latest standards. Whether you're a homeowner, builder, or developer, trust our local expertise for fast, reliable service and sustainable solutions. Contact us today for a consultation.
Legionella is a type of bacteria found naturally in freshwater environments, but it becomes a health risk when it grows in man-made water systems like hot and cold water tanks, cooling towers, and spa pools.
The bacteria thrive in temperatures between 20°C and 45°C, especially where water is stagnant or where there are nutrients like rust, scale, or organic matter. When contaminated water is aerosolised—such as through showers, taps, or air conditioning units—people can inhale the droplets and potentially develop Legionnaires’ disease, a severe form of pneumonia.
In the UK, including Scotland, those responsible for premises—like landlords or employers—are legally required to assess and manage the risk of Legionella. This includes understanding the water system, identifying potential hazards, implementing control measures (like maintaining hot water at 60°C and flushing unused outlets), and keeping records of monitoring and maintenance.
PAT testing, or Portable Appliance Testing, plays a critical role in electrical safety compliance, especially in Scotland where regulations are more stringent for landlords. Under the Housing (Scotland) Act 2006, landlords must ensure that all electrical appliances provided in rented properties are safe and regularly inspected. This includes PAT testing, which forms part of a broader Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) required at least every five years, or before a new tenancy begins. PAT testing must be conducted by a competent person, and all tested appliances should be appropriately labelled, with clear documentation retained for six years. These measures help reduce electrical hazards and reinforce tenant safety while ensuring landlords meet their legal obligations
