Instruction

To undertake a Building Survey including drone roof inspection of a mid-terrace two-storey property.

Property Overview

Type: Mid-terrace two-storey property

  • Location: Co. Tyrone

  • Age: Built early 1980’s

  • Client: Private Client

  • Purpose: Pre-purchase survey

Survey Process

Our survey process involves several key steps to ensure a thorough assessment:

Consultation

We began with an initial consultation call to understand the client's concerns and specific requirements for the survey. This included a discussion about the property's history and any known issues.

Inspection

We conducted a detailed on-site inspection over a 4.5 hour period, covering both the interior and exterior of the property including all main building components as well as a visual inspection of services installations.

Report

Our findings were documented in a comprehensive report, including detailed descriptions of each identified issue, photographs and diagrams. We provided clear, actionable recommendations for repairs and maintenance.

Key issues for consideration included:

  • Suspected plumbing leak emanating from ground floor WC

  • Evidence of penetrating dampness to chimney stack

  • Failed mastic sealant around window frames resulting in dampness & mould growth to some internal reveals

  • Overflow pipe saturating external wall resulting in localised penetrating dampness internally

  • Inadequate separation distance between oil tank and timber fence

Post Report Video Call

Following report issue and once the client had a chance to fully read through the report, we arranged a video call and addressed any further questions or queries the client had.
