Had a great experience start to finish. Ed was professional, personable and prompt.
We chose him because the other companies we looked at, felt like we were just another pay-check for them. From the reviews and website, it was clear that Ed gave a personalised service, which as first time buyers was exactly what we wanted.
Report was thorough, easy to understand and was really helpful to talk to him after and clarify things.
I’d highly recommend him!

Roof report

Ed’s services were recommended by a friend who got a damp report from him. We spoke to Ed about issues with our own property and he created a bespoke report based on what we needed. It was useful to be able to challenge what the builders were saying about our roof. The benefit of having an experienced and independent view cannot be overstated.

Ed really went the extra mile

We didn't get a survey when we bought our house but before starting a renovation decided to get a survey to make sure we hadn’t missed anything. We were really impressed with the quality of the report and we certainly learnt things about the house that we hadn’t spotted ourselves. Ed helped us to focus on the order of jobs and provided some info on how to best use the reno funds. He went the extra mile and really went above and beyond

Really helpful and professional

We instructed Ed for a survey and were very happy with the service. Communication was clear throughout and everything was explained in a way that was easy to understand. The report was clear and detailed, and the drone footage was very useful.It helped us understand what actually needed doing. Would definitely recommend.

We ordered a survey of our roof after having the hassle of leaks in the November storms. The surveyor was excellent taking the time to explain things to us whilst at the house. We shared the report and the drone video to some roofers who sent quotes without having to get up ladders and visit. Getting more than one quote meant that the survey basically paid for itself as we weren’t getting charged for work that didn’t need doing and could shop around. So far no leaks!!

Prompt, helpful and fairly priced

Responded very promptly to initial enquiry, and damp survey was arranged within a couple of days.Ed was very professional, helpful and looked at a couple of extra areas on request. Note this was a ‘looking around the property’ type inspection using a moisture and humidity meter to test walls, take pictures internally and drone to take pictures externally. No invasive or other testing was done.The report is detailed with lots of helpful pictures, some diagrams, clear instructions on rectifying issues and expected cost. Also included general advice on maintenance and upkeep which I find v useful Service was good value, fairly priced.Before using though I had gotten the internal hot, cold water and internal and external waste water pipes/sewers checked as well as the guttering checked. I had also found the damp proof course and measured it relative to external ground level. I’d also had salt analysis testing done separately so knew the cause of the moisture levels in the wall was rainwater not rising damp. I’d lifted some floor boards in the affected area to help with the inspection too.Before using I’d recommend others do similar checks or get Ed to let you know what tests/checks need doing first as the inspection didn’t cover those things and that’s essential knowledge to have to hand to get the best out of the inspection Would definitely use again.

Excellent Service

We used Ed to survey our new home due to its age. Ed was very thorough and went through everything, explaining very clearly. I'd certainly recommend him!

Business Details

  • We are a residential surveying company based in East London. We offer services to home owners and are entirely independent. We are building defect specialists and utilise our knowledge of the local housing stock to ensure you are making informed property decisions.

    We specialise in pre-purchase surveys and these make up the majority of our work. We are able to carry out Level 2 Surveys and Level 3 Surveys. Whether you are a first time buyer or already own a home, we are here to help.

    Beyond pre-purchase surveys, we can provide defect-specific reports. These utilise non-invasive techniques, such as thermography, use of borescopes, hygrometers, moisture meters and other specialist techniques to work out the root cause of building problems. We understand how and why buildings can fail, which is often closely related to construction type. You can rely on our expertise to reach informed conclusions about building defects. We have experience of London's diverse and ageing housing stock.

    We experienced in evaluating dampness in buildings and carry out damp surveys for both landlords and homeowners. We are able to distinguish between rising dampness, penetrating dampness and condensation related dampness.

    We are qualified commercial drone pilots and are able to carry out roof, chimney and guttering inspections safely from the ground. We include drone imagery as standard with our pre-purchase surveys, at no extra cost. We are able to offer drone surveys as a standalone service too.

    You may need a drone survey for insurance purposes or to understand the condition of your roof before commissioning roofing works. We are independent and are not here to sell you unnecessary "solutions".

    We are able to advise on improving energy efficiency, refurbishments and extensions and are qualified to provided retrofit design and coordination services.

    We pride ourselves on having the most up to date technical knowledge combined with first class customer service.
