Property Overview

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 4 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:
DPC bridged by raised planter abutting the rear elevation which is causing penetrating dampness internally
High moisture meter readings to the floor around the SVP casing indicative of plumbing leak
Deteriorated mastic sealant around window frames resulting in penetrating dampness to reveals internally
Lack of horizontal and diagonal bracing noted to truss roof construction
Gaps in party walls within the roof space a fire safety concern
Suspected bees nest in roof space
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.
