Surveying traditional or Listed buildings requires a completely different approach to standard buildings so if you are hoping to purchase an older property it is important that you instruct a surveyor who is familiar with traditional building techniques and who is in a position to offer balanced and sensible advice.

Many old houses have problems and defects which have run with them for many years and which can occasionally be accepted and managed, whilst others have been spoilt by inappropriate repair or have been “over restored”, which can be equally damaging.

Mike has 35 years’ experience in the field of surveying Listed/traditional buildings and has lived in a Grade II* Listed house for the past 30 years. He is therefore able to offer clients sensible advice both from the perspective of a Building Surveyor and also from the point of view of an owner of a Listed building.
