Commercial Building Surveys
Our RICS surveyors assess commercial properties for acquisition, investment, or occupation. We evaluate structural integrity, identify defects, and provide detailed reports to inform leasing or purchasing decisions. Our surveys cover warehouses, offices, retail spaces, and listed buildings, ensuring clients understand property conditions and obligations.
Structural Engineering
We offer structural design, feasibility studies, and calculations for commercial projects. Our services include steel beam assessments, mezzanine floor designs, roof load calculations, and technical due diligence. We ensure compliance with industry standards, supporting new builds, renovations, and alterations across diverse property types.
Dilapidations
We specialise in dilapidations claims for landlords and tenants, assessing lease compliance and repair liabilities. Our team prepares schedules of dilapidations, negotiates settlements, and provides expert witness reports. We help clients avoid costly disputes through accurate documentation and strategic advice.
Schedules of Condition
Our detailed photographic and written reports document property conditions at lease commencement. These records protect tenants from unfair repair claims by evidencing pre-existing defects. We cover all commercial property types, ensuring clarity during lease negotiations and end-of-term dilapidations processes.
Fire Risk Assessments
We conduct comprehensive fire risk assessments to meet Regulatory Reform Order 2005 requirements. Our surveys identify hazards, evaluate risks, and recommend mitigation measures.

Nov 25, 2025 Report
I recently worked with Jon Powell who delivered with precision and professionalism. He was highly responsive, explained everything clearly, and his expertise in surveying, particularly in due diligence and schedules of condition, gave me real confidence in the process. He worked with ease and professionalism, highlighting building issues I would not have identified myself, saving me significant expense in the future.

The report itself was detailed and exceeded my expectations. It broke down the steps and costs involved, while also providing an overall view of what to expect as a buyer. It seems Jon goes above and beyond for his clients, giving me both clarity and reassurance in the purchase process. Even the admin team, especially Linzi, was prompt, professional, and made the process seamless. In this environment where efficiency is key, that level of support was invaluable. Definitely someone I would trust to instruct again.
