Defect Diagnosis

Defect diagnosis is akin to medical detective work for a structure. Surveyors act as the diagnosticians, meticulously examining a property for hidden flaws or potential problems. This involves a multi-pronged approach, combining visual inspections with specialised equipment. Cracks, damp patches and uneven floors could all be signs of underlying issues. The surveyor analyses observations and utilises tools like moisture meters or thermal imaging cameras to gain a deeper understanding of the defect. This comprehensive diagnosis forms the basis of our non-obvious repairs.

Planned Maintenance Schedules

Planned Maintenance Schedules are like roadmaps, ensuring timely interventions that prevent minor issues from snowballing into costly repairs. Regular inspections and preventative maintenance not only extend the lifespan of a building but also promote occupant safety and a more consistent level of comfort within the structure. By proactively addressing potential problems, planned maintenance schedules contribute to a building’s ongoing value and functionality.
