Building Surveys
We conduct detailed building surveys to assess property condition, identify defects, and provide cost estimates for repairs. Our reports help clients make informed purchasing decisions and negotiate prices. Surveys are tailored to property type, ensuring comprehensive coverage of structural and maintenance issues.
Party Wall Agreements
Our party wall services include advising on legal obligations under the Party Wall Etc Act 1996, preparing notices, and resolving disputes. We act as surveyors or arbitrators to ensure compliance with regulations and protect client interests during construction near shared boundaries.
Rehabilitation Projects
We manage rehabilitation and refurbishment of historic and modern buildings, offering defect diagnosis and remedial solutions. Using endoscopes and CCTV, we minimise disruption during investigations. Our services cover subsidence, rot, and drainage issues, ensuring structural integrity and marketability.
