The benefits of local expertise

Fridaymove's RICS qualified surveyors in Barnet have considerable expertise in completing home reports in Barnet and across North London. On top of a comprehensive survey of your prospective property, surveyors will be focussed on any environmental factors found in the region.

Longhorn Beetle Issues

In some parts of the country, including Barnet, this beetle is known for the damage it can cause to roofs. Your Home Buyers Survey in Barnet may refer to holes created by the beetle's larvae, which look similar to those caused by woodworm.This insect is found in roof timbers, and can be dangerous as these provide structural supportIn the worst cases, roofs have been known to completely collapse. Building Regulations are formulated to reduce the spread of this infestation. Specialised wood treatments are among the solutions available today.

Barnet property and Leaking Parapets

Parapet walls are usually above the roof line and often sit on the boundary of the property. They are relatively exposed and regularly suffer from deterioration due to the elements.

Buildings in Barnet may suffer leaks as a result of parapets which have been poorly maintained. Leaking roofs are often down to the parapet wall, rather than the roof itself.Surveyors will be vigilant for signs of associated cracking, flaking, and displacement potentially caused by leaking parapets. In such cases, it is recommended that a PVC flashing 'membrane' should be installed if not present.

Barnet Portland Stone

Your Surveyor should confirm whether a property is built with Portland stone. Your Building Survey or HomeBuyer Report in Barnet will address the impact of any rendering on the stone. The otherwise-attractive facade of Portland stone will be damaged over time if trapped beneath rendering, but your RICS Surveyor can address the impact render will have on a specific property at your request.
