Accurate building defect diagnosis
Honest, concise answers in plain English, from an experienced Chartered Building Surveyor.
Concerns about your property?
Have you noticed a new or progressive crack? A damp patch that keeps coming back? Perhaps you are concerned about the condition of your roof? Or maybe you are worried about a leaning chimney stack?
Is it serious? What is actually causing it? How urgent is it? Do you notify your insurer? And who do you ask, without ending up with a sales pitch dressed up as advice?
A report tailored to your needs.
Always included
- An independent explanation of what is causing the defect, supported by photographs and on-site evidence
- An assessment of severity and urgency
- Remedial options, from minimum intervention to full repair
- Plain English throughout
Tailored to your situation
- Indicative repair costs to help you plan and compare contractor quotes
- Independent evidence to support an insurance claim or challenge a loss adjuster’s finding
- Short, medium and long-term recommendations if you need a maintenance roadmap
- A follow-up call to walk through the findings together
