A week of marketing has paid off at Brewsters, the launch of our new Desktop Appraisal for Solar PV installations has exceeded our expectations.
The product is aimed mainly at MCS accredited contractors and has proven a great hit. Not only does the homeowner get peace of mind that their roof has been professionally checked and structurally appraised but the installer also shows compliance with guidelines in the case of an MCS audit.
The key to the success has definitely been the low fee Brewsters are charging for the desk top appraisal. The installers provide us with the photographs, measurements and roof member sizes and our time is spent doing what we do best, calculating the suitability of roofs to accept the increased weight from PV panels rather than racing around country. We’ve also prepared a number of commercial products although a site visit is often required and a number of schools and factories have already been inspected.
For more information on our latest desktop products which start from £75.00 + VAT or commercial roof appraisals for PV systems, please contact the Brewsters Sales Team on 0800 027 5130.

With the growing demand for solar panel installations, we’ve recently launched a range of products designed specifically to suit the needs of MCS accredited installers.
Our team of structural engineers and surveyors aim to handle your project swiftly and with minimum disruption to the homeowner and the sales process.
With desk-top appraisals starting from £75 + VAT and visits & reports from as little as £180 + VAT, call us today on 0800 027 5130 and find out how we can help you.

Dave, Helen, Debbie and I gathered at the start of the Sandstone Trail in Frodsham with eight partners and friends where spirits were high. We met up with the “Warrington Four” after a search for the elusive toilets which were found hiding in a local Costa Coffee, (probably the most expensive wee ever, as everyone bought a coffee at the same time!)
