We offer impartial and expert building surveying services for both residential and commercial clients. Utilising traditional inspection methods alongside advanced drone technology, we conduct Drone Surveys, Bespoke Building Surveys, Masonry Surveys, and RICS Home Surveys. Our drones provide a cost-effective and efficient alternative to conventional inspection methods like scaffolding and cherry pickers, allowing visual inspection of hard-to-reach areas and delivering high-resolution images and videos for accurate condition assessments of masonry, roofs, chimneys, and rainwater systems. We can safely and quickly inspect city centre tenements including parts of the building that are normally inaccessible, producing a condition report that identifies problem areas and recommends options for repairs and maintenance. Our surveys can be tailored to your needs, including features such as traffic light condition ratings, annotated photographs, sketches, and roof layouts. We offer everything from focused roof inspections to comprehensive building surveys. With over 35 years of experience in the built heritage sector, we bring extensive knowledge of permeable materials like stone and lime mortars to our work. We also carry out RICS Home Surveys Level 2 and Level 3, using a standardised template with traffic light ratings to indicate the condition of various building elements. These surveys, popular among home buyers, offer a general health check of the property. All surveys are conducted by an Associate Member of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) with specialised qualifications in Conservation of Masonry and Energy Efficiency for Older & Traditional Buildings. Our drone surveys are carried out by Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) registered pilots who are qualified to GVC standard and trained to operate under our Operational Authorisation issued by the CAA. Reviews snippet: Detailed physical survey of A-listed property with focus on exterior defects requiring attention, repair or replacement. The surveyor conducted a physical and drone survey of the property over a 4 to 5 hour period. He identified areas requiring attention, graded on a scale. His experience with stone properties and listed buildings was invaluable. His communication was clear and he helped formulate a plan to prioritise repairs and remedy any defects. This plan is almost complete and will help preserve the integrity of the property. || Mrs Elizabeth Tait: I initially contacted Mr Lindsay regarding a stonework repair that was required to the Pend of my Category B listed home and as a fairly recent occupant of this property I decided to extend the assessment to the complete building. Mr Lindsay conducted a thorough examination of all aspects of the building taking extensive photographs following which he discussed his preliminary findings with me and answered my questions. He prepared a full report with photographs which was forwarded to me and as I had further questions regarding priorities he returned to talk over my concerns. I had some issues with our local Planning Department and he provided me with some helpful advice. In all his dealings with me I found Mr Lindsay to be thoroughly professional, knowledgeable and approachable. || Katie MacDonald: David was extremely professionally and knowledgeable in his field. I hired him to investigate water ingress at a property I was thinking of buying. His report was very thorough and detailed. He also took the time to speak to me on the phone for quite some time to discuss his findings. I have already recommend him to a family member who needs something similar. Thanks David.
