Inspections

We carry out regular inspections to ensure estates are well maintained and issues promptly addressed. This proactive approach ensures high standards of care for your development.

Our team conducts routine site walkthroughs to identify and resolve maintenance needs before they escalate into costly repairs. By maintaining this regular physical presence, we ensure that every aspect of your development—from landscaping to structural integrity—meets the standards set by the directors. This commitment to detail not only preserves the aesthetic appeal of your estate but also protects the long-term value of your property.

Safety

While drainage systems are often "out of sight, out of mind," regular inspections play a vital role in safeguarding any well-managed development. We recommend periodic professional surveys using specialist camera technology to identify hidden vulnerabilities—such as cracks or misalignments—before they escalate into emergency repairs.

Over time, underground pipes are subjected to shifting soil, root intrusion, and the gradual accumulation of debris. In developments with a mix of residential and commercial units—particularly those housing restaurants—the buildup of fats, oils, and grease (FOG) poses a greater risk to the system. Because every site is different, the frequency of our inspections is always dependent on your development’s unique situation.

Internal

Our periodic inspections are designed to ensure that both the visible aesthetics of the building and the underlying infrastructure remain in good condition.When moving through the interior common parts, our focus is on safety, cleanliness, and functionality.

The exterior inspection focuses on the "curb appeal" and assessing the health of trees and shrubbery, ensuring they are not overhanging walkways or encroaching on building foundations. We check for trip hazards in paving, the condition of boundary fencing, and the integrity of brickwork or retaining walls. We check bin stores are well-managed and clean, preventing pest issues and maintaining the overall cleanliness of the site.

Together the roof and masonry are a development’s first line of defense against the elements, yet they are often the most neglected components until there is an issue. Scheduling a comprehensive professional inspection every few years is essential for identifying the subtle signs of weathering—such as slipped tiles, perished pointing, or failing leadwork—that are not visible from ground level. Early detection allows for minor "patch and repair" work, preventing water ingress that can rot timber rafters, damage internal ceilings and general water ingress.

We can arrange a professional survey which uses the latest technology, including drones for taller buildings, to help key these potential issues from becoming actual problems.
