South East London property advice
Cracks, leaks, damp, poor building work or something that simply does not look right — start with what you can see and we will help you identify the appropriate type of inspection.
Start with the problem
Focused investigations
Each inspection is scoped around the actual concern. A visual inspection can identify evidence, likely mechanisms and appropriate next steps, but it should not be treated as a remote diagnosis before the property has been inspected.
Cracking can result from a wide range of causes, from minor material movement to issues requiring further structural investigation. We record the pattern, width, location and associated signs before advising on proportionate next steps.
Moisture problems may involve condensation, penetrating water, plumbing leaks, ground moisture or a combination of factors. The inspection considers visible evidence and the surrounding building context.
Water can enter through roofs, walls, balconies, drainage details, services or adjoining construction. The objective is to narrow the likely route and identify what should be checked or repaired next.
Roof concerns may include failed coverings, flashings, gutters, junctions, flat-roof details or defects that are difficult to see from ground level. Inspection scope is agreed to suit the property and access available.
Where work has been carried out poorly, incompletely or differently from what was expected, an independent inspection can record visible condition and help separate observation from contractual or specialist questions.
You do not need to identify the service yourself. Send us a short description of what you have noticed and we can advise whether a focused defect inspection, evidence record or another SurveyAll service is the appropriate starting point.
Local residential expertise
SurveyAll works across Greenwich, Lewisham, Bexley and Bromley, with particular local familiarity around Plumstead and Woolwich. Specialist defect and evidence work can also justify a wider London catchment where appropriate.
