Survey FAQs

In short – No! We value our experienced surveyor Dean's time and can give you the best advice. We charge a small fee to cover some of the costs as many times, some straightforward maintenance advice will remedy the issue without any work by us required.

We have a range of survey fees from £95 to £295 to carry out a timber and damp inspection. Many clients have said that a thorough, honest investigation into their damp and timber problem put their minds entirely at rest and saved them money.

The video below explains why we charge for surveys:

This is subject to the area to be surveyed. We would say the minimum time, if it is in an isolated area in a small house, could be 40 minutes. However, if the property is substantially larger and requires both a timber and damp inspection, this could mean 2 hours plus.

The surveyor will do both external and internal inspections of the property and accessible areas. Obstructions, furniture, boxes, panelling, and floorboards will not be moved. It is for the property owner to move these obstructions to allow the inspection.

If remedial works have been carried out, then – YES. However, check your written report to ascertain the length and type of guarantee and any exclusions or maintenance requirements.

Our guarantees are up to 10 years long.

We KNOW there are 20 and 30-year guarantees; however, our insurance company limits us to offer realistic guarantees. REMEMBER, a guarantee is WORTHLESS if the company has closed down! (we see this a lot)

We offer the ability to purchase a GPI insurance policy for a one-time fee to run alongside our guarantee. See our dedicated page on GUARANTEES to find out more.
