Building damp and mould assessment and pathology is a core Building Surveying skill, and our team has extensive experience across all property sectors. We work with various property types and construction forms, enabling us to deliver accurate, insightful assessments that support acquisition, development, and remedial decisions.
To guarantee a comprehensive assessment we ensure our that surveyors are broadly skilled and properly equipped. They are able to quickly identify a buildings’ form of construction without the need for intrusive investigation. That skill set also enables them to quickly identify the relevant areas for specific investigation. They will utilise a variety of tools to engage with the defect as fully as possible.
If further investigation and opening up is thought to be required, or more involved building fabric testing, these will be reviewed with our client prior to any specific action.
