survey

We're having a new patio installed and the builders are doing a great job. However, I'm concerned to see the new level is only 120 mm below the damp proof course in places. The new level also comes about an inch above the bottom of an air brick which doesn't look right and I suppose could...

Looking for some advice on a property. Cracks in render are where extension (circa. 1970s/1980s) meets original building (circa. 1920s). Survey came back to say there’s potential progressive movement. There are no render cracks on the ground elevation, damp cause is fine and there’s no rising or...

Hi We are wanting to buy a property which just came back with a level 3 for damp in the home buyers report. The property is a Victorian terrace with solid floors. There was minor evidence of damp when we viewed but we thought it was just condensation and ventilation issues as the property is...

Hello, I was wondering if anyone can help me with their expertise and knowledge about getting a survey for sulphate attack on concrete floors. We have been getting quotes from different surveyors for this and one of them has come back at £300, he has good reviews and comes off professional and...

Hi, We are trying to buy a 3 bed mid terraced house that was built in the late 1800’s but the rear extension is on its own as the house next door was built later. As it’s an area with lots of subsidence - south London. We only got a valuation completed as we didn’t want to pay £’S for a survey...

Hi! Has anyone ever seen such a hip repair as this? Looks very dodgy to me, and it is sagging (visibly internally and externally). I can't think why this would be done. Any ideas?

Unusual situation, would appreciate advise please. When we moved our survey highlighted that a chimney had been removed from the kitchen. It was along the back wall of the main building - the kitchen & upstairs then continue 'outrigger', ie L-shaped house with a rear gable end. Upstairs there...
