Insite Surveys

The purpose of our survey is primarily to diagnose and pinpoint the root cause or causes of any perceived issues within your property. However, in certain cases, achieving absolute certainty may pose a challenge, especially when historical issues go unnoticed by the client or when a property changes hands without a documented history of any works. Common concerns that surveys address include:
 

• Identifying whether the property is affected by rising damp, penetrating damp, condensation, or a combination of these moisture-related issues.
   

• Assessing the severity and type of woodworm infestation, whether it's caused by relatively harmless species like the Bark Borer Beetle and Common Furniture Beetle, or potentially hazardous ones like the House Longhorn Beetle.
   

• Offering guidance on treatment options for woodworm infestations, tailored to the specific construction of your property.
   

• Determining the underlying cause of structural issues such as 'springy' floors or 'cracked/buckling' skirtings, distinguishing between relatively straightforward remedies like those for wet rot, and more complex situations involving true dry rot, which may require more extensive intervention.
   

• Providing recommendations for any necessary remedial works to address identified problems effectively.
   

Our surveys are designed to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of the issues, empowering you to make informed decisions regarding any necessary remedial actions.
