Independent Property Inspections
Independent property inspections for homeowners and prospective purchasers throughout Bridport and West Dorset.
I provide practical, straightforward advice to help identify defects, understand their likely causes and decide what action may be required.
For older and traditional properties in particular, my construction experience allows me to look beyond the symptoms and consider how the building has been constructed, altered and maintained.
Pre-Purchase Property Inspections
Buying a property and want a better understanding of its condition before you commit?
I can carry out an independent inspection focused on the condition of the building, visible defects and areas that may require repair or further investigation.
You'll receive practical feedback to help you understand what I've found and the potential implications before you proceed.

An impartial assessment focused on the property and its condition.
Practical Experience
Construction knowledge used to understand defects and their likely causes.
Clear Feedback
Straightforward findings to help you make a more informed decision.
Older & Traditional Properties
Older properties often need to be understood differently from modern buildings. Traditional materials and methods can behave differently, and apparent defects are not always best addressed using modern solutions.
My construction experience helps me consider how a property has been built, altered and repaired over time, including masonry, lime mortars, damp, ventilation and previous alterations.
This can be particularly useful for older cottages, period houses and Listed Buildings throughout Bridport and West Dorset.
