Principal Elements Building Survey

Our principal elements building survey includes a detailed inspection of all accessible parts of the following elements: internal and external walls (but excluding finishes and decorations), the roof internally and externally including insulation levels, chimneys and flues externally, gutters and downpipes, drainage (visual inspection at manholes), floors and staircases, flashings and other lead/cement work, damp proof course and sub-floor ventilation, and retaining walls if directly related to the building.

The survey will be carried out within the restrictions imposed by any occupier at the time of the survey. We cannot report that areas which are unseen or inaccessible at the time of inspection are free from defect, infestation or rot, and therefore such areas are excluded from the scope of the survey.

Our inspection will NOT include the following elements: all services (hot/cold water, plumbing, heating, gas/electrical installations, above ground drainage), internal/external decorations, joinery, windows, doors, skirtings, cupboards, kitchen fittings, all fittings (including sanitary fittings, fires, radiators, tanks, etc.), all detached outbuildings, fences, walls, garden areas, drives, hardstandings, etc.
