Overview

Services

Our Building Surveying services are broken down into three, easy-to-navigate categories to help you find the exact service you need.

Reporting on a Building

For Property Buyers

We offer a suite of reports that are all tailored to you and the property you require surveying. The RICS regulated surveys are recommended when purchasing a property. Please click the below link to our Residential Surveys page to find out which one is suitable for you:

  • RICS Level 3 Building Survey
  • RICS Level 2 HomeBuyer Report
Residential Surveys

We also offer additional reports that are available as a standalone service, or as an extra to your RICS Residential Survey:

  • Drone Survey
  • Thermal Survey
  • Damp Survey

For Property Sellers

Have your property assessed prior to sale so you can address any issues that might be flagged on the buyers survey. This can help to save time and money in the long run, as it can prevent buyers from bartering on price further down the line:

  • Pre-Sale Property Health Check

Fixing a Building

Perhaps you have identified an issue with your property and you are unsure on the root cause?

Maybe you have had a survey and it has highlighted a number of defects?

We can provide a professional assessment of the defect and supply you with remedial options, along with an estimated cost for the required works.

Whilst we have experience working with properties dating back to the 17th century and have a passion for heritage projects, we also regularly diagnose modern building defects and can produce honest and reliable advice for any type of issue.

We do not survey high rise or commercial buildings, nor do we issue EWS certificates.

Improving a Building

Do you want to add value to your property? Maybe you are just looking to improve your quality of living?

We offer a range of services to help you realise your property goals. We provide this professional advice in a timely and cost effective manner, with the client at the heart of everything we do:

  • Building Design & AutoCAD Drawings
  • Planning & Building Control applications
  • Tendering & Procurement services
  • Project Management
  • Suitability for Conversion Report
