Welcome to Elvet Chartered Surveyors, we are a award-winning chartered surveying practice. The feed is dedicated to our e-commerce Building Surveying services.
*Masked issues are a big problem in many homes- it is imperative you get the right survey*
Water can be one of the worst causes of damage to your property and leaks from faulty/ poorly installed pipework is one of the main reasons which are often installed in areas you cannot see
Getting the right level of survey is important.
The house may look good on the surface, but issues may be masked.
Water and electrics is a dangerous mix, but loose wiring in roof voids or mounting sockets too close to the floor can also lead to faults occurring or worse, fires.
Our surveyor undertook a Level 2 survey of a maisonette flat in the converted Love Lane Warehouses in Newcastle. A Grade II listed building, the property has been converted into various leasehold flats and commercial units, with some fairly spectacular views along the Quayside!
Throw back to this gorgeous day at the end of September when our surveyor Stephen went out to Blaydon to do a valuation.
If you need a valuation for your property, visit our website: https://t.co/orGaxmWJey or give us a bell on 01207 524823.

A roof and chimney stack in very poor condition. Lack of maintenance caused considerable water ingress, damage to finishes, mould growth and reduced thermal performance. Damp conditions in a building are linked to poor occupant health. It's important to get a survey carried out!
Our surveyor has found some interesting defects recently: Cracking along mortar joints, in a cavity wall, corresponding with cracking internally. Cause: possibly subsidence. Further investigation has been recommended.
If you suspect similar issues in your home, call 0330 0419 03.
We pride ourselves on quality, efficiency and value for money-so it's always great to hear such positive feedback that reflects this.

Good news to read that the #construction output continues to rebound and gains 18% in July as the economic recovery continues. The #government needs to do all it can to ensure the sector maintains its recovery and to prevent a further #lockdown. https://t.co/tFA8eScZT2
Beautiful day for doing a Home Buyers Report yesterday in Newcastle. We seem to bring the sunshine with us wherever we go!
Give us a call on 0330 0419 031 to book your building survey-(good weather not guaranteed, but we do promise quality results and a friendly surveyor!).
We recently attended a property where the contractor had hit a leaking pipe. Although it appeared dry, after opening the floor we saw water had penetrated into the joists and boards.
A simple leak doesn't just affect the surface, it can have knock on effects for the full build up
We hope you're making the most of the last few Summer days.
We're certainly always on the go! Here's Stephen's shot of a site in Houghton-le-Spring where he was completing a valuation.
If you need a house valuing, just give us a call on 0330 0419 031 and we'll sort it π π
Great to see the North East is attracting more investors and, in turn, boosting its economy thanks to new developments such as state-of-the-art offices spaces.
