Independent property inspection services for damp, mould, housing disrepair, and structural building defects.
We do not sell damp proofing or building repairs. Recommendations are 100% objective.
We trace root causes using calibrated moisture profiling, thermal cameras, and building physics.
Structured reports suitable for dispute resolution, housing claims, and legal instructions.
We are an independent building surveying service specializing in defects. Identifying a defect is only step one—the critical question is why it occurred and what should be done about it.
Evidence of damp does not automatically mean a new damp proof course or tanking system is required. Mould may be linked to condensation, but it can equally be driven by cold bridging, ventilation failure, subtle plumbing leaks, or rainwater penetration. We look beyond visible symptoms to diagnose the underlying failure.
Thorough physical examination of the immediate problem and contributing building elements.
Consider all potential mechanisms and gather tangible, scientific evidence.
Observations backed by calibrated measurements, moisture profiles, and high-res photography.
Clear, objective written documentation framed in plain, actionable language.
Practical, prioritized remedial steps based on building physics rather than product sales.
Every property is different. Rather than recommending standard solutions, we assess the individual circumstances of the building.
Comprehensive root-cause investigations to distinguish between ambient environmental issues and structural ingress.
Detailed housing condition inspections documenting internal and external defects for dispute resolution.
Independent evaluations to check for true DPC failure versus alternative moisture transmission paths.
Condition and performance audits of existing below-ground waterproofing and subterranean tanking systems.
Identification of biological timber decay, active infestations, and structural timber deterioration.
End-to-end scope specification for small repair projects requiring coordinated building works.
Legal & Expert Witness Notice: If you intend to use a building report within formal court proceedings or legal disrepair claims, the required reporting format and Part 35 Expert Witness instructions must be discussed with your instructing solicitor prior to booking.
A professional survey is more than a list of defects. Our reports provide a clear understanding of what has been identified, what causes it, and what action should be taken.
We inspect the defect and analyze all adjacent building elements that could be influencing the problem.
Findings are documented with crisp photographic evidence, data readings, and diagnostic observations.
We translate complex technical building physics into straightforward, plain English advice.
We sell no remedial contracting work. Our recommendations are unbiased and purely evidence-led.
