Common Issues Identified During a Level 3 Survey
Structural Cracking
Cracks can indicate movement, settlement or structural issues. We assess their likely cause, severity and whether further investigation is recommended.
Damp & Condensation
We identify signs of damp, condensation and moisture ingress, explaining the cause and the potential impact on the property.
Roof Defects
From slipped tiles to ageing coverings, we inspect the roof for visible defects and recommend appropriate repairs where necessary.
Chimney Defects
Chimneys are exposed to the elements and can deteriorate over time. We check for cracking, loose masonry, damaged flashing and signs of instability.
Timber Decay
Rot, fungal decay and timber deterioration can compromise structural elements. We identify affected areas and explain the extent of any damage.
Gutter Problems
Blocked, damaged or leaking gutters can lead to damp and water damage. We inspect rainwater goods and highlight any maintenance issues.
Brickwork & Pointing
Weathering and failing mortar joints can allow water penetration and reduce structural integrity. We assess the condition of external masonry.
Electrical Concerns
While not an electrical test, we identify visible defects or outdated installations that may require further inspection by a qualified electrician.
Floor & Joist Issues
Uneven floors, movement or timber deterioration may indicate underlying problems. We assess visible signs and advise on any further investigation.
