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 methodical on-site inspection over a 3 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 an assessment on the condition of the main building elements, photographs and diagrams.
Key issues for consideration included:
Failed canopy covering & decking as well as missing abutment lead flashing causing localised penetrating dampness internally
Isolated damaged and spalled bricks
Wet rot decay to timber door frame
Missing mortar benching to below ground drainage pipework
Non-compliant oil tank base and separating distances
Gaps in party walls a fire safety concern
High moisture meter readings to part of ground floor
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.
