Services
RICS Home Surveys
We conduct comprehensive RICS-regulated property inspections at three levels. Level 1 condition reports identify maintenance needs for modern properties. Level 2 surveys provide detailed defect analysis for standard homes. Level 3 structural surveys offer in-depth assessments for older or altered properties, including repair recommendations and specialist referrals when required.
Building Defects Diagnosis
Our specialist surveys identify structural issues including damp penetration, timber decay, and movement cracks. We provide detailed diagnosis reports with photographic evidence, root cause analysis, and prioritised remediation plans. Services include intrusive investigations and coordination with structural engineers when complex defects are identified.
Snagging Inspections
We perform detailed quality assessments of new properties, identifying incomplete works and finish defects. Our snagging reports list all required repairs with photographic documentation, helping homeowners ensure builders complete contractual obligations to agreed standards.
Drawing Designs
We create technical drawings for planning applications and building regulations compliance. Services include measured surveys, boundary plans, and design proposals for home extensions, loft conversions, and structural alterations to meet local authority requirements.
Measured Surveys
We produce accurate scaled drawings of existing properties using laser measurement technology. These surveys form the basis for renovation projects, title plan verification, and boundary dispute resolution, providing precise dimensional records for legal and construction purposes.
