Cracks can indicate movement, settlement or structural issues. We assess their likely cause, severity and whether further investigation is recommended.

We identify signs of damp, condensation and moisture ingress, explaining the cause and the potential impact on the property.

Roof Defects

From slipped tiles to ageing coverings, we inspect the roof for visible defects and recommend appropriate repairs where necessary.

Rot, fungal decay and timber deterioration can compromise structural elements. We identify affected areas and explain the extent of any damage.
