Joe Fraser Chartered Surveyors are experts in defects analysis and regularly act in an Expert Witness capacity in such situations.
You might benefit from our defect analysis service if you have water ingress (when water makes its way into a building from outside), dampness issues, cracking you cannot explain, or any structural or constructional issue. If you’re not sure about some information you’ve been given – for example, by a builder – Joe Fraser Chartered Surveyors can help.
We take an impartial and pragmatic approach and seek out practical solutions to your structural or construction problems. Although our inspections may need to be invasive and potentially disruptive to find the root of the problem, speak to our team and we’ll work out the best approach for your situation.
What is Defects Analysis?
Our defects analysis service studies specific defects and works out a solution for them, rather than focusing on potential issues that could be identified in a Building Survey.
Some recent examples of our defects analysis work include assessing dampness in a Grade 2 Listed farmhouse and proposing a solution, discovering how water was entering an office, and working out why the roof on a newly-built garage didn’t quite fit!
