Structural Surveys / House Surveys / Pre-Purchase Inspections

At Jim Canning & Partners Ltd, we offer professional structural surveys to assess the integrity and condition of residential and commercial buildings. For well over 20 years we have provided a thorough and comprehensive service for home buyers and commercial interests. Whether you're considering a property purchase or investigating potential structural concerns, our inspections provide clear insights based on a thorough visual assessment.

What’s Included?

Our survey typically begins in the roof void, where we evaluate:

• The overall performance and construction of the roof structure.
• Condition of structural members.
• Signs of water ingress or leaks.
• Insulation and ventilation levels.

We then continue through the internal areas of the building, examining:

• Floors for moisture and overall condition.
• Internal surfaces of external walls for cracks or dampness.
• The construction method (e.g., cavity wall, solid masonry, timber frame) to identify risks or future maintenance concerns.

Following the interior inspection, we carry out an external survey from ground level, reviewing:

• The condition of roof surfaces and external walls.
• Visible drainage inspection at some access points, where accessible.
