We'll add videos to this page whenever they are put up to youtube - but here's a selection of some:
Mike did a survey recently in London and found this absolute mess - some of the worst damp wally damage we've ever seen. They even injected the skirting boards! The wall was bone dry - all the mess was completely unnecessary.
This is a classic example of PCA damp proofing yobbos, who drill and injct an otherwise perfectly good stone cottage. The problem is all the cement pointing - which is trapping moisture into the walls. Take away the cement, and the walls dry out.
Now this is just to show you what we do with thermal imaging - the sorts of things you can see with a camera, and the advice that it enables us to give to clients. It's powerful stuff - if you ever engage a surveyor- they better have one of these, or they aren't worth having.
This is a huge timber framed property we surveyed - a few comments about roofing and timber frames really - but good to see what we get up to.
This was Pete's first visit to a clients house, when he found thick render covering a beautiful old building and making it wet and cold. Subsequently we helped manage a negligence claim against surveyors who failed to condusct a proper purchase survey, and the house is now thankfully re-rendered in lime, drying out nicely - and warm and dry inside. Without ANY damp proofing.
