Flagship service
Level 3 Building Surveys that support a decision
For older, altered, unusual or visibly defective homes, the report should explain more than a list of faults.
- Construction and accessible condition explained clearly
- Likely causes and implications of significant defects
- Urgent work separated from normal maintenance
- Repair priorities, photographs and proportionate next steps
- Cost guidance for significant repairs where reasonable
- Drone roof inspection where safe, lawful and useful
