Business Details
We have built Domestic Surveys on a foundation of independent building surveying expertise, serving clients across Bristol, Bath and Gloucestershire. Our team brings a wealth of experience in conducting detailed building surveys that uncover hidden defects before they become costly problems. We specialise in full building surveys, homebuyer surveys, Party Wall notices, condition surveys and newbuild snagging surveys, using the latest technology such as boom cameras and thermal imaging. Our surveyors are fully qualified members of professional bodies and adhere to the highest RICS standards in every inspection. We pride ourselves on delivering a personal service that is tailored to each client's unique circumstances, whether they are purchasing a property, bidding at auction or managing party wall matters. By providing comprehensive illustrated reports and offering followup consultations via Skype or Zoom, we ensure our clients fully understand the implications of our findings.
Our approach is transparent; we base our fees solely on the size and complexity of the property, avoiding any reliance on the property's market value. This commitment to clarity has earned us a reputation for honesty and reliability among homeowners, landlords and investors throughout the region. We continuously invest in our surveyors' professional development, keeping them abreast of evolving building regulations and emerging surveying techniques. Our problemsolving capability is demonstrated through the use of specialised tools such as metal detectors for walltie failure and asbestos testing methods when required. Ultimately, we strive to give our clients the confidence to make informed property decisions, backed by expert advice and a dedication to their longterm satisfaction.
