Featured Project

St Pancras Chapel, London

The chapel, which can be found in the centre of St Pancras and Islington cemetary in Islington and is Grade II listed, had experienced years of unsympathetic treatment and we were appointed to survey and itemise the extent of repairs required, so a renovation contract could be prepared and a signi fi cantly extended lifespan be secured.

Frequently Asked Questions

Building surveyors are property professionals who inspect, assess and advise on the condition, construction and performance of buildings. Their work helps ensure properties remain safe, functional and compliant while identifying defects, maintenance requirements and opportunities for improvement.

Instructing a professional building surveyor gives you an independent assessment of your property and access to experienced technical advice. Whether you're purchasing a building, planning alterations or investigating structural concerns, professional surveying helps minimise risk and supports informed decision-making.

If you're carrying out work to a shared wall, excavating close to a neighbouring property or building on a boundary, you may require a Party Wall Surveyor under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996.

We have many years of experience advising clients on party wall matters and are members of the Pyramus & Thisbe Society, acting impartially to help property owners meet their legal obligations.

A professional Defect Report helps identify the cause of issues affecting your property, whether related to construction, design, movement, damp or building materials.

Rather than focusing on one specific trade, our independent assessments consider the building as a whole, helping property owners understand the underlying causes and identify the most appropriate course of action.

A Pre Acquisition Survey is designed to help prospective buyers understand the true condition of a property before committing to a purchase.

We typically undertake Level 3 building surveys, providing a comprehensive assessment of the property's structure, condition and any issues that could affect its value, safety or future maintenance. The findings can also provide valuable information during purchase negotiations.
