Building Surveyors
understand how your buildings are put together, how they work, why
they sometimes don’t, and what to do about it. Think of us as 'the
building doctors' If you feel sick, you expect your doctor to
diagnose the problem and tell you how to cure it. We do the same
for buildings. We will investigate your building defects, diagnose
the cause(s) and help you put them right if possible.
Some problems (e.g. storm
damage, burst pipes, subsidence) may be covered by your insurance
policy. We can help with your insurance claim.
Sometimes a problem is
subject to litigation. We will liaise with your solicitor, prepare
expert reports and appear for you as an expert witness.
Repairs
Having regular minor repairs prevents any nasty and costly
surprises caused by short-term neglect. For example, repairing
slipped roof tiles prevents any later headaches from sorting out
roof leakages. Ask us about any worries you have about your
property.
Planned Maintenance
Most building owners see maintenance as a necessary evil, so
things get put off and problems grow more expensive. Neglected
paintwork leads to rotted windows; a few slipped tiles become a
major roof leak.
We will inspect your
building with you, point out your maintenance issues, help you put
them in order of priority, draw up an annual programme and help
you to implement it.
