Building Maintenance

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.
