Brickwork, roofing, and
external finishes
We carry out a thorough inspection of all external areas of your property, including the brickwork, roofing, and rendered or painted finishes. Every section is carefully reviewed to check the quality of materials and workmanship.
Our surveyors identify common defects such as cracks, poor pointing, uneven surfaces, loose tiles, and gaps that could lead to water ingress or damp issues over time. Each fault is recorded in detail for your builder’s attention.
This ensures your home’s exterior is not only visually appealing but also weather-resistant, durable, and built to the standard expected of a new property.
Windows, doors, and joinery
We carefully assess the installation and finish of all windows, doors, and joinery throughout your property. Our inspection covers frames, hinges, locks, seals, and the overall alignment to ensure everything operates smoothly and fits correctly.
Common issues such as drafts, misaligned fittings, sticking doors, and poorly sealed frames are noted in detail, along with any cosmetic defects like scratches or uneven finishes. Each fault is clearly documented for rectification.
This inspection guarantees your home is secure, energy-efficient, and finished to the high standard you’d expect from a new build.
Kitchens, bathrooms,
and fittings
We carry out a detailed inspection of all kitchens, bathrooms, and fittings to ensure they have been installed correctly and finished to a high standard. Our checks cover cupboards, worktops, sinks, taps, tiles, and all visible fixtures.
We look for common issues such as leaks, uneven surfaces, poor sealing, damaged units, and incorrect alignments. Each item is tested and reviewed for both function and appearance to make sure everything is working as it should.
This helps guarantee that every area of your home is practical, well-finished, and ready for immediate use without the inconvenience of post-handover faults.
Plumbing, heating,
and electrics
We carry out a full inspection of your property’s plumbing, heating, and electrical systems to confirm that everything has been fitted correctly and operates safely. This includes visible pipework, radiators, switches, sockets, and lighting.
Our surveyors check for leaks, uneven heating, faulty connections, and any signs of poor workmanship or non-compliance with building standards. We also test basic functionality to ensure all systems perform as intended.
This ensures your home’s essential services are reliable, energy-efficient, and fully ready for everyday use, giving you peace of mind from the moment you move in.
Loft spaces, insulation,
and ventilation
We inspect loft spaces to ensure proper installation, adequate insulation, and effective ventilation throughout. This includes checking access points, structural elements, and any visible ducting or pipework.
Our surveyors look for common issues such as poorly fitted insulation, blocked or insufficient vents, damp, or signs of condensation. Every concern is carefully documented so your builder can address it.
This ensures your home remains energy-efficient, comfortable, and free from potential long-term issues caused by poor ventilation or insulation.
Flooring, plastering,
and paintwork
We carry out a detailed inspection of all internal finishes, including floors, plastered walls, and painted surfaces. Our survey covers the quality of materials, the smoothness of plaster, and the consistency and coverage of paintwork.
Common issues such as uneven floors, cracks, scratches, marks, or poor paint application are identified and recorded. Each defect is clearly documented to ensure it can be rectified before handover.
This inspection guarantees that the interior of your home is not only visually appealing but also finished to a high standard, ready for immediate occupation.
Compliance with safety and
quality standards
We thoroughly review your property to ensure all work complies with current building regulations and recognised quality standards. This includes structural elements, electrical installations, plumbing, and fire safety measures.
Our surveyors identify any deviations or non-compliant work, highlighting areas that require attention. Each issue is documented with clear recommendations for correction, helping you avoid future problems or safety risks.
This process gives you confidence that your home meets legal requirements, is safe for occupancy, and has been built to the high standards expected of a new property.
