"There are about 469000 residential properties in Surrey. Types of property vary from new builds to much earlier structures.

In general, local subjects Qualified Chartered Surveyors may consider include cellar dampness, clay soil heave, noise from Heathrow, highly damaging House Longhorn Beetles, parapet wall upkeep, Portland stone lapsed maintenance and local planning considerations among others.

Concerns investigated during Twickenham Home Buyer Surveys include:

Twickenham Longhorn Beetle

This species is noteworthy in certain areas as it causes rapid deterioration by eating away timbers internally. Your Chartered Surveyor will confirm that the holes resemble those caused by woodworm, but are larger in radius. The House Longhorn Beetle is a very destructive insect, and can infest most softwoods. Older buildings are actually often more immune as they often use hardwood timber in roof supports.

Twickenham Cellar and Basement Moisture Problems

Cellars are common in homes in the Twickenham area. By virtue of being underground, these are susceptible to water intrusion and damp. Such structures are often not sealed properly against damp.Chartered Surveyors in Twickenham will seek to identify:

  • Water stains along walls or floor
  • Musty odour or damp smell
  • Mould
  • Efflorescence
  • Spalling
The Surveyor in Twickenham will establish the cause of the damp, which may include ground water, overflowing or insufficient guttering, or detached downspouts.

Twickenham Portland Stone

It is not uncommon to find Portland stone throughout the region. Portland Stone was in use as far back as Roman times. Fortunately, algae will not normally negatively impact Portland stone.
