Sadly not all is well in this magnificent late Tudor and later Georgian Listed House.... we encountered the holy trinity - Damp, Dry Rot and Structural Movement #lovesurveying#TheCheshireSurveyor #@Brooker&Co #Nantwich#BuildingSurveys
This staircase is just stunning - solid oak - hand carved balustrades with a double helix, 1 piece of timber..... it's incredible oh and it's at least 200 years old! #love surveying #TheChehsireSurveyor#Nantwich #/buildingsurvey #RICS
Unusual defect today ... a modern roof with trussed rafters and the collar tie (the bottom of the triangle ) has snapped in half - rendered the truss useless.
We were out and about this morning Surveying a lovely 1920s villa style house - and came across this lovely Arts and crafts little design detail ..... love it - simple and yet so stylish
It was the 452nd Alms House Trustees Service this morning for Sir Edmund Wright - the founder of the Nantwich Alms Houses - St Marys Church looked stunning. So proud to be part of such a wonderful foundation.
We surveyed a 1980s bungalow today, occupied by Tenants. We were shocked. We can't recall ever seeing such a high level of relative humidity in a home - walls and ceilings were running with water and covered in toxic mould - house is unfit habitation due to health risks.
The house we surveyed for a client today had lots going for it … water, wet rot decay, common furniture beetle, structural movement, mice, cluster flies and farmers electrics 🙈 #RICSbuildingsurveys#thecheshiresurveyor#cheshire
Sometimes it’s not about what you can see..As surveyors we use all our senses when surveying buildings…. This morning we smelt the slightest whiff of gas, which with the right equipment we traced back to the gas meter. Authorities alerted #lovesurveying#the_cheshire_surveyor
We’re very lucky as we get to look at lots of property on our travels and occasionally we come across a gem … lovely 1911 Villa today with gorgeous arts and crafts design influences .. #the_cheshire_surveyor#buildingsurveys#cheshire#nantwich ❤️
