Case Histories

We've created a whole new section on the site to showcase some of the work we do, both involving timber and damp surveys, and major building surveys of old homes.  Peter takes a lot of video, so many of these are presented as videos, together with information about the house concerned.  

Damp survey examples

We hope it brings home to our viewers the full extent of incompetence and fraud within the Survey industry - whether at the sharp end, with many RICS chartered surveyors telling clients to appoint a Property Care Association 'Timber and Damp surveyor' or just PCA registered damp companies being asked to survey houses directly for clients.  In every case, we try to show how damp proofing is not required, and how downright incompetent and fraudulent all these people are.  

Building Condition Survey, Pre-Purchase Survey, Homebuyer Survey

We hope also that you see how Building Condition Surveys can be fun, informative, and educational - we like our clients to learn about their potential home.  Richard is doing more and more Full Structural Surveys in London and the surrounding areas, with clients finding out all sorts of interesting things about their purchase - Richard sometimes getting rather dirty checking out under-floor spaces, narrow loft areas, drainage systems, and all manner of incompetent attempts at damp proofing where none is required.  In Scotland, John explores old Manse houses, farm cottages on the Western Islands, and damp walls in Edinburgh!  He is doing structural building surveys all over Scotland, together with timber and damp surveys - even travelling as far south as north Yorkshire on occasion.
