Survey Signature

Specific issues regularly dealt with by Catford RICS Chartered Surveyors include:

Portland Stone

This stone features in the construction of many local buildings. Despite often growing on Portland stone-built walls, algae is of no concern to homeowners insofar as maintenance of the stone is concerned. Any suspicion of render-related moisture damage should be addressed to the Catford Surveyor.

Clay Soil in Catford

Your Surveyor will confirm that properties built on these soils are prone to foundation movement. Some types of clay soil can be problematic for properties built on it, as it is water absorbent. If the enviroment is very dry, the residence can settle, leading to considerable structural problems. The HomeBuyer Report or Building Survey in Catford will report on any evidence of heave or settlement. If these are suspected, a special dip test survey could be recommended.

Dampness in Catford Cellars

Cellars are common in homes in the Catford area. By virtue of being underground, these are susceptible to water intrusion and damp. Water in the soil can put constant pressure on basement walls, and must be maintained. Issues including a musty odour or damp smell, mould, efflorescence, and spalling will be identified by a Building Surveyor during the Property Survey in Catford.The Surveyor in Catford will establish the cause of the damp, which may include ground water, overflowing or insufficient guttering, or detached downspouts.
