__ The pressures you’re under

Built around the challenges property teams face

Every service answers a real problem for facilities managers, landlords and asset managers.

Downtime

Keep the building open

Scaffolding and access equipment disrupt tenants, customers and deliveries. Drones don’t.

We help with Roof Surveys →
Leaks

Find the problem before it spreads

Water ingress through roofs and gutters damages stock, fit-out and reputations. Early inspection saves money.

Façades

Keep elevations safe

Loose cladding, spalling and failed seals are a risk to people below. Close inspection shows what needs attention.

We help with Façade Surveys →
Energy

Cut running costs

Heat loss and failed insulation push up energy bills. Thermal imaging shows where to invest.

We help with Thermal Surveys →
Solar

Make the most of your roof

Large commercial roofs are ideal for solar, but only if the roof is ready for it.

Leases

Know your obligations

Dilapidations and lease events need clear, dated records of condition.

__ Across the life of a building

From acquisition to lease end, here’s where each service fits.

Acquire

2

Maintain

Commercial property questions

If yours isn’t answered here, give us a call on 0345 017 5592.

Will the survey disrupt our tenants or customers?

No. We plan flights around your opening hours and agree take-off areas in advance. There’s no scaffolding or access equipment on site.

Can you find roof leaks?

Close visual imagery shows damage and failed areas, and thermal imaging can show trapped moisture in flat roofs under the right conditions.

Can you survey several buildings?

Yes. We use the same method at every site and deliver everything through one online portal.

Do you provide reports?

We can supply imagery for your own surveyors, or condition reports from our building surveyor.

Can you record condition at the start or end of a lease?

Yes. Our schedule of condition surveys give a dated photographic record of roofs and façades, which helps with lease agreements and dilapidations. See our schedule of condition page.
