Clear, independent reports for residential and commercial clients. No jargon, no upselling — just honest professional advice.
Building surveys & condition reports
A building survey is the most thorough inspection available when buying or assessing a property. It covers the full structure and fabric of the building — from roof to foundations — and gives you a clear picture of what you're taking on.
What we inspect
- Roof structure, coverings, and chimneys
- External walls, pointing, and render
- Windows, doors, and external joinery
- Internal walls, ceilings, and floors
- Basement and subfloor areas where accessible
- Drainage and services (visual inspection)
- Outbuildings and boundary structures
Building surveys are suitable for all property types but are especially recommended for older, period, or non-standard construction properties.

Damp & mould inspections
Damp and mould are among the most misdiagnosed problems in residential and commercial properties. Many reports jump to remediation without properly identifying the cause — leading to costly, unnecessary work that doesn't solve the problem.
Our approach
We take a pathology-led approach: investigating the root cause of moisture and mould rather than treating the visible symptoms. This means you get an accurate diagnosis and targeted recommendations — not a blanket treatment plan.
Our specialist knowledge in building pathology, developed over two years working alongside one of the UK's leading experts in the field, means we understand how buildings behave and how moisture moves through them.
Your report includes
- Identified cause(s) with supporting evidence
- Moisture readings and photographic record
- Clear remediation recommendations
- Guidance on what to avoid (unnecessary treatments)
Common causes we investigate
- Penetrating damp from defective roofs, gutters, or walls
- Condensation and inadequate ventilation
- Interstitial condensation within wall and roof structures
- Plumbing leaks and hidden water ingress
- Thermal bridging causing localised cold spots
HHSRS surveys
The Housing Health and Safety Rating System (HHSRS) is the government's framework for assessing health and safety hazards in residential properties. An HHSRS survey identifies and scores hazards across 29 categories, from damp and mould to excess cold, falls, and fire risk.
Who needs an HHSRS survey
- Landlords seeking to demonstrate compliance with the Homes (Fitness for Human Habitation) Act
- Tenants or solicitors gathering evidence of hazardous conditions
- Local authorities and housing associations assessing stock condition
- Property owners preparing for sale or dispute resolution
What the survey covers
- Damp, mould, and excess cold — Category 1 hazards most commonly identified
- Structural stability and falling elements
- Fire safety, electrical hazards, and carbon monoxide risk
- Sanitation, drainage, and water supply
- Crowding, space, and entry by intruders
Our background in local authority housing and building pathology means we understand how HHSRS scoring works in practice — and how to produce a report that stands up to scrutiny.
Transparent pricing
Every property is different, so we provide fixed fee quotes based on the property type, size, and location. There are no hidden charges — the price we quote is the price you pay.
