Common Issues Identified During a Level 2 Survey

Structural Cracking

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

Roof Defects

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

Gutter Problems

Blocked, damaged or leaking gutters can lead to damp and water damage. We inspect rainwater goods and highlight any maintenance issues.

Brickwork & Pointing

Weathering and failing mortar joints can allow water penetration and reduce structural integrity. We assess the condition of external masonry.

Electrical Concerns

While not an electrical test, we identify visible defects or outdated installations that may require further inspection by a qualified electrician.

Floor & Joist Issues

Uneven floors, movement or timber deterioration may indicate underlying problems. We assess visible signs and advise on any further investigation.
