Defect Investigation
We provide detailed defect investigation and reports for buildings ranging from domestic to commercial, through to large NHS premises. We provide detailed and professional advice to allow owners; developers and purchasers devise a plan for the repair of the defect.  The report would establish the condition of the building in relation to the defect, assess the cause and recommend necessary repairs together with likely budgets.

This can be particularly important as building defects are often mistakenly identified or incorrectly repaired, both of which can have unforeseen consequences, resulting in further repairs and expense. Defects that have been incorrectly diagnosed and or repaired can become significant issues in a short period of time and therefore it is essential to contain the defect and carry out the correct remedial work.

The cause of some defects are extremely hard to determine and may require the input of a Structural Engineer or Services Engineer, and we can arrange that expertise using trusted consultants.

All reports will undoubtedly have some technical information but the summary and conclusions will be written in plain English, and our Surveyors will happy to explain the contents if you are unclear on any aspects.
