About

Twenty years of looking properly.

Deans Heritage Group is Sean's surveying consultancy. He has spent over 20 years in the trade and now covers London, Essex, Kent and Norfolk.

Why Deans Heritage

Old buildings, new tools.

Sean set up Deans Heritage Group to do the work he knows best: look hard at a building and tell people plainly what is going on with it.

Older buildings need understanding, not just a checklist. A drone means the roof and chimneys get the same close look as the rooms inside, and a party wall or fire door job gets the same care as a crack in the kitchen.

What a visit looks like

Ground, inside, then the air.

  1. Before

    A proper conversation

    What you have noticed, what is planned, and any notices, drawings or reports you already have.

  2. Arrive

    Outside first

    A walk round the building, ground levels, drains, walls and anything the neighbours share.

  3. Inside

    The problem, up close

    Measured, photographed and tested, and the rooms around it checked for the same signs.

  4. Above

    The roof by drone

    Where it matters, a flight over the slopes, stacks and gutters that cannot be seen from below.

  5. After

    The report and a call

    Findings in plain English with photos, then time on the phone to go through it with you.

What we stand for

Four things, on every job.

Look properly

Every wall, roof and door gets the same close look, whether the job is large or small.

Say it plainly

No jargon and no padding. What is wrong, why, and what to do about it, in that order.

Stay impartial

Party wall surveyors have to act fairly for both sides. That is how we approach every job.

Pick up the phone

The report is not the end of it. If you have a question afterwards, you can ask.
