Specific Defects Surveys

In-depth analysis of specific defects including dampness and cracking.

General Information

We carry out specific defect surveys to investigate and resolve particular building issues that can impact performance, safety, and asset value.

Common concerns include:

• Water ingress and dampness

• Condensation and mould growth

• Cracking and structural movement

• Deficiencies in finishes or building services

Our surveys go beyond surface-level observations. We carefully assess the symptoms, investigate potential causes, and provide clear, evidence-based advice on remedial options. Where appropriate, we use moisture testing, crack monitoring, and other diagnostic techniques to support our findings.

The outcome is a practical, well-documented report that explains the issue, identifies the root cause, and sets out proportionate solutions. This gives our clients the confidence to make informed decisions — whether that means carrying out targeted repairs, planning longer-term maintenance, or pursuing further professional or legal action.

By focusing on accuracy and clarity, we help minimise disruption, reduce unnecessary costs, and extend the life of our clients’ properties.
