Building Defect Surveys

If something’s not right with a building, it doesn’t take long for the ripple effects to spread. Cracks become costly, and damp creeps. That’s why our building defect surveys are built around speed, honesty, and action.

Our team investigates the cause of visible and hidden issues and gives you straightforward guidance on what needs doing. We’ll help you make confident decisions based on facts, not assumptions, from single defects to full property inspection.

Understand Problems Before They Escalate

Not every defect is obvious, and not every survey picks up what matters. We’ve optimised our building defect inspections to pick up on the root cause of an issue, rather than just the symptoms. That could mean assessing structural movement, leaks, roofing failures, damp, timber decay, thermal bridging or something else entirely.

There’s no such thing as a ‘standard’ problem.

We don’t hand you a list of what’s wrong. Our experts explain why it’s happening and what you need to do next. You’ll get a focused report written in plain English, with photos and diagrams to refer to. If you need ongoing support or input from specialist consultants, we will arrange this for you and guide you accordingly
