What we assess

Common defects we inspect

Damp & moisture

Rising damp, penetrating damp, condensation — we identify the source and type, assess the extent, and advise on the appropriate remedy.

Structural cracking

Assessment of cracks in walls, lintels, or foundations — distinguishing cosmetic settlement from movement requiring structural intervention.

Roof defects

Targeted inspection of a roof covering, flashings, gutters, or chimney — particularly where a drone survey or roof access is required.

Subsidence & movement

Investigation of signs of subsidence, heave, or differential settlement, including assessment of likely cause and monitoring requirements.

Timber defects

Assessment of dry rot, wet rot, woodworm, or structural timber failure in floors, roofs, or other elements.

Other known defect

Any single element you're concerned about — a specific wall, drainage issue, extension, or outbuilding. If in doubt, get in touch to discuss.
