Independent investigations. Evidence-led reporting.
We focus on understanding the causes of property defects and providing impartial findings, rather than selling remedial treatments. Inspection scope and reporting requirements are agreed before work begins.
Professional written reports
Where commissioned, inspections are supported by clear written reports with relevant photographs, observations, findings and practical recommendations. Reports can help homeowners, landlords, property managers and housing providers plan their next steps.
Diagnostic equipment & techniques
Investigations may use moisture meters, hygrometers, psychrometric assessments, thermal imaging, calcium carbide testing and drone photography, as appropriate to the property and inspection brief.
Independent, impartial advice
Our emphasis is on investigating likely underlying causes, explaining the evidence and recommending proportionate action. Where specialist engineering or other further assessment is needed, this will be identified.
