Established in 1990. We provide inspection and survey services for owners of traditional buildings, which are generally defined as those built before 1919 and constructed with solid (not cavity) walls.

Surveys are carried out by an Associate Member of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) who is also qualified in Conservation of Masonry. Clients will benefit from our in-depth knowledge of historic building materials and experience of traditional trade craft.

We operate drones to inspect difficult to access areas of a building. Drones offer an affordable and efficient means of building inspection avoiding the need to use cherry pickers or scaffolding. Our drones are flown by a Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) certified pilot.

We provide -

Inspection and condition assessment of stonemasonry.
Condition surveys of traditional buildings (typically those built pre-1919).
Inspection and photography of building fabric at high level (towers, roofs, gutters, chimneys etc) using drone technology.

We inspect and survey -

Houses and tenements
Churches and towers
Monuments and memorials

Our building inspections can help identify deterioration of building fabric and defects within individual construction elements before failure causes long term damage. If your building suffers from water penetration, we can investigate and recommend appropriate solutions. And if you need help sourcing suitable contractors and quotes, we also offer a bespoke project management service.

We are fully insured and health and safety compliant. Our location is ideal for undertaking works in central Scotland, but we are happy to consider projects elsewhere.
