Residental Surveys

Independent, impartial property surveys for homeowners, homebuyers and private landlords.

Why arrange a residential survey?

Damp, mould and moisture problems are not always caused by one obvious defect. A professional survey can help identify the likely source of the problem, assess the extent of any damage and distinguish between issues such as condensation, penetrating damp, rising damp, leaks or timber decay. Whether you are a homeowner, landlord or prospective buyer, an independent survey provides clear evidence and practical recommendations, helping you make informed decisions and avoid unnecessary or unsuitable remedial work.

Residential Survey Fees

Every property is different, so the fees below are starting prices. Your final quotation will be confirmed before booking and will depend on the property size, location, accessibility and scope of the inspection. Each survey includes a detailed written report, supporting photographs and practical recommendations based on our findings.
