"There are about 469000 residential properties in Surrey. Buildings range from modern to much earlier houses. However, skill with local home-construction methods is only a fraction of the survey process, as there are a range of additional issues which must be taken into account. In general, local potential defects and other issues Qualified Chartered Surveyors may consider include clay soil subsidence, House Longhorn Beetle problems, interlocking tile roofing and planning permission factors among others.

In some parts of the country, including Chertsey, infestation is rife. The marks this beetle creates look similar to those caused by woodworm but are larger in radius. The House Longhorn Beetle can be very destructive to the structural integrity of a property's roof, even ultimately disntegrating softwood. Building Regulations now protect timbers, preventing the spread of this insect.
Structures built on these soils are prone to subsidence and foundation movement. Some clay soils are problematic. If conditions are too damp, the clay soil could force the property upward, damaging the foundations. If any evidence of heave or settlement is suspected, a dip test survey may be recommended by the Chertsey Surveyor. Despite these problems, clay soil is a very suitable material for brick manufacture.
Roofs on homes in Chertsey are typically found with interlocking tiles (made of clay) from Belgium and Holland. Chartered surveyors will highlight the possibility of dislodged tiles because repair will add significantly to the cost of the property. Roofing Companies do not always have the skills to fix defects with these types of roof as skills are parochial to the area the tiles are sourced. If your survey in Mickleover uncovers any defects, we would suggest that you speak to a roofing expert about an estimate for repair.
