Condition Surveys, Defect Diagnosis & Building Pathology

We carry out specialist inspections to a range of heritage assets and construction types, including stone, brick, render, timber-framed and earth construction.

In doing so, we complement our acquired knowledge and experience with the use of modern surveying techniques such as microwave and carbide meters, high-level camera poles, thermal imaging technology and, where legal, the use of a drone.

Our reports are bespoke to the asset, make positive observations and recommendations and are concise – as we are very aware of the tendency for surveyors to vacillate.

They include detailed, annotated, high-resolution photography or drawings and – depending on the type of survey – make specific comments on defects, causes and recommendations along with information on upkeep and maintenance.

Our survey packages include, but are not limited to:

• Listed building and Homebuyer surveys (levels 1, 2 and 3)
• Structural surveys
• Timber and damp surveys
• Timber frame surveys
• Quinquennial and church surveys
• Drone surveys
