Structural inspections
What is included in this type of survey
• All major and minor faults found within the property, and the implications that these will have.
• How much the repairs for these defects will cost.
• Testing for dampness of the walls, and results for these tests.
• Testing of all woodwork for damp and woodworm, and the results of these tests.
• Investigation into the condition of damp proofing, insulation and drainage, although the drains will not actually be tested.
• Technical information about how the property was construction, and all materials which were used in the process.
• Proposals for any further special inspections and subsequent work which may need to be done on the property.
Architectural design services
Design and draw Architectural plans through planning application and building regulation applications, from conceptual drawings to generate ideas or a double storey extension to the rear of the house.
Party Wall Surveyors
● Work on an existing wall, ceiling or floor structure shared with another property?
● Building on or at the boundary with another property?
● Excavating near a neighbouring building or structure?
If yes, you must find out whether the work falls within the scope of the Act (see below). If it does you must serve the statutory notice on all those defined in the Act as ‘adjoining owners’.
It is best to seek professional advice to determine if your building project is within the scope of the Act, as it is often more complex than simply checking the general criteria stated above. Failure to correctly identify the status of your project could result in the building works being unlawful.
