Inside a Carpenter Survey
Every property has a story. We help you understand it.
A professional survey is not simply a list of defects. Our surveyors consider how the property was built, how it has changed, and what the findings mean for you.
Roof condition
Roof coverings, flashings, chimneys, rainwater goods, and signs of water ingress.
Damp and moisture
Analysing root causes behind moisture, insulation, ventilation, and fabric leaks.
Structure and movement
Cracking, distortion, distortion paths, and signs of historic or active movement.
Visible services
Condition checks of electrical systems, heating elements, plumbing, and main drainage.
Alterations and extensions
Evaluating modifications and modern extensions for hidden defects or poor structural handiwork.
External areas and drainage
Inspecting boundaries, retaining walls, external walkways, and primary gulley traps.
Finding defects is only part of the job. Explaining what they mean for you is where experience matters.
