Our Services

At ASH Surveyors, we provide a comprehensive range of services to meet the diverse needs of our clients:

Party Wall Matters

The Party Wall etc. Act 1996 governs works involving party structures, such as walls shared by neighbouring properties. We act as Appointed Surveyors, advising and guiding both Building Owners and Adjoining Owners through this complex process. Our services encompass preparing detailed schedules of condition and Party Wall Awards, ensuring projects are executed in compliance with the Act while safeguarding the interests of all parties involved.

Should disputes arise, we are equipped to impartially arbitrate and resolve any disagreements concerning damage or compensation. Our expertise extends to understanding the rights and obligations of all parties involved, including tenants and leaseholders with long-term tenancies.

Building Surveys

We undertake comprehensive building surveys to assess the condition of properties, identifying potential defects or issues. These surveys provide clients with a thorough understanding of the structural integrity, mechanical systems, and overall condition of their building. Our reports are detailed and informative, outlining any areas of concern and recommending appropriate course of action.

Maintenance, Repairs & Refurbishment

We offer professional advice and guidance on maintenance, repairs, and refurbishment projects. Our expertise encompasses a wide range of building elements, from addressing water ingress and dampness to rectifying cracks, subsidence, and early failure of components and finishes.

We work closely with clients to develop practical and effective solutions, ensuring their projects are completed to the highest standards while adhering to building regulations and safety standards.

Defect Investigation

Our team of experienced surveyors meticulously investigates building defects, identifying their cause and extent. We utilise advanced techniques and diagnostic tools to accurately assess the situation and recommend appropriate remedial action. Whether it's water ingress, dampness, condensation, cracking, or subsidence, we provide detailed reports outlining the findings and proposing effective solutions to resolve the issue.

Camera Mast Surveys

For hard-to-access areas or complex installations, we employ state-of-the-art camera mast surveys. This non-invasive technique allows us to inspect roof spaces, chimneys, and other areas without causing disruption to the building. The high-resolution video footage provides a clear visual assessment of the condition of these areas, allowing us to identify potential defects or damage early on.

Our Commitment to Excellence

At ASH Surveyors, we are dedicated to providing our clients with exceptional service built on experience, integrity, and professionalism. Our commitment to using the latest technologies and industry best practices ensures we deliver accurate, reliable, and actionable solutions.
