On occasions i have been asked to undertake work on property that has been recently purchased, with the new owner keen to get the work done and aware due to a surveyors report that those period windows do require some attention, often experience suggests that the new owner is not prepared for what is to come. Yes the surveyor is absolutely right the exterior joinery does need some attention but a surveyors report does not include a forensic assessment of said joinery, I actually get the ladder out, climb up to take a proper look, such an assessment can come in handy when negotiating a purchase price.
I am able to offer a window and exterior joinery surveying service covering Hampshire and Wiltshire.
I am not a qualified surveyor and do not pretend to be, but i do have 30 years of experience looking at and repairing period and contempory joinery.
