Single Defect Reports

The single defect report is most commonly required by existing home owners, landlords or Property Managers who have been made aware of a problem affecting a particular part of a property and who require a bespoke report and advice on a specific matter that has been drawn to their attention.  Recent examples of such reports include the following:

• Investigating and advising on persistent, significant dampness affecting a ground floor flat in Tregony.
• Advising on a condensation problem affecting a two bedroom tenanted house in Falmouth.
• Investigation of a roof leak to a commercial property in Central Square, Newquay.
• Investigating the cause of dampness affecting a brick gable end wall to a property in Trispen and advising on repair options to manage or remedy the matter.
• Providing a report to a management company on the condition of flat roofs to three blocks of flats in Newquay, illustrated with colour photographs and advising on routine overhaul/repairs to keep the roofs serviceable until planned renewal.
• Providing a report on the condition of two chimneys to a rural property near Truro and advising on the cause of damp ingress and possible repair options.
• Reporting on the cause and significance of render cracking to a newly renovated property at Tehidy near Camborne and advising on necessary repairs.
• Reporting to a Management Company on the cause and significance of movement cracks affecting a block of flats in Truro.
• Providing a report on the condition and life expectancy of a timber balcony structure to a property in Polzeath.
• Providing a report on a bungalow in Fraddon to identify and confirm the method of construction to the main walls.  Following our inspection, we were able to confirm that the property was of pre-cast sectional reinforced concrete construction to a Cornish Unit specification.
