Building Defects Analysis

Although based in the beautiful rural setting of Holmesfield, close to the Peak District, Chesterfield and Sheffield, Chandlers Building Surveyors Ltd specialises in building defects analysis for both residential and commercial properties throughout the country.

Invariably, where homebuyers reports and valuation reports highlight problems with the subject premises, the author of the report often requires further input from a Professional Building Surveyor.

The typical fixed price fee for a domestic property defects analysis is from £200.00.

Experienced analysis reporting

Chandlers Building Surveyors Ltd have been involved in numerous residential defects analysis, these include:

• Mould growth and condensation in roof voids, resulting in rot occurring in roof timbers.

• Trussed roofs not constructed in accordance with current standards with associated defects causing structural problems not only in the roof structure itself but also in the associated masonry walls. Remedial work being required prior to marketing the property.

• Various structural defects have been identified which involve cracks above external windows and internal openings, cracking between extensions and the main building are also quite common.

Expert advice

While methods of construction may not accord with current standards, the surveyors at Chandlers Building Surveyors are aware that this may not, in itself, cause a problem. Your surveyor will advise you of cost-effective solutions to your building's problem(s).

Our knowledge and experience with defects analysis has previously allowed us to work on commercial properties for a major supermarket chain and other blue chip retailers to identify problems in construction and provide cost effective solutions leading to remedial work.
