  • Crack mapping and measurement
  • Moisture readings where damp is suspected
  • Drone photos of roofs and high level areas
  • The likely cause in plain English
  • Repair advice in order of priority

Party Wall Surveys

Party Wall Surveys

Building work next to a neighbour comes with legal steps under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996. We serve the notices, record the neighbouring property and agree the award, whichever side of the wall you are on.

  • Advice on whether the Act applies
  • Party structure, boundary and excavation notices
  • Acting for the building owner or the neighbour
  • Agreed surveyor appointments
  • Schedule of condition with dated photos
  • Drone photos of roofs and chimneys next door

Drone Surveys

Drone Surveys

Most roof problems cannot be seen from the street, and scaffolding just to have a look costs time and money. A drone gets close to the ridge, the chimney and the valleys without anyone climbing up.

  • Roof slopes, ridges, hips and valleys
  • Chimney stacks, pots and flaunching
  • Lead flashings and dormers
  • Gutters, downpipes and parapets
  • Upper walls, stonework and pointing
  • Sharp stills and video

Fire Door Inspections

Fire Door Inspections

A fire door only works if it closes, seals and holds. We inspect fire doors in blocks of flats, HMOs and commercial buildings and give you a clear record of what passes, what needs fixing and how urgently.

  • Communal and flat entrance doors
  • Leaf, frame and gap measurements
  • Intumescent strips and smoke seals
  • Self closers, hinges and latches
  • Glazing, vision panels and signage
  • Door by door schedule with photos
