Our Social Contribution
Supporting our community and our industry.
For Residents
Helping landlords act faster on disrepair means safer, healthier homes for the people who live in them.
For Landlords
Independent, professional inspections at cost — easing the load on stretched teams and tight budgets.
For the Profession
Sharing our expertise to help raise standards across the sector through a period of major regulatory change.
As an established firm working across social housing, we want to give something back — so we're offering 100 inspections at below cost to support residents, landlords and the wider profession through a period of intense pressure and regulatory change.
Disrepair is now a statutory clock — not a backlog.
Since Awaab's Law came into force in October 2025, hazards like damp and mould carry fixed investigation and repair deadlines — with Phase 2 widening the scope through 2026. Independent evidence, fast, has never mattered more.
Awaab's Law Timescales
Statutory windows to investigate significant hazards and report back to residents. Getting a qualified surveyor out quickly is the bottleneck.
Disrepair Claims
Legal claims are rising. An independent inspection gives you a clear, defensible record of condition and cause.
Housing Ombudsman Scrutiny
Complaint handling and evidence trails are under the spotlight. A professional report strengthens your position.
HHSRS & Compliance
Ahead of Phase 2, a condition or specific-defect survey helps you triage risk and prioritise spend where it counts.
What You Get for £49
A concise, decision-ready report — done properly.
Choose the survey that fits the problem. Both are carried out by an experienced Building Surveyor and delivered as a clear written report.
Condition Survey
A whole-dwelling visual assessment identifying defects, disrepair and hazards, with a condition rating and clear recommendations.
Specific Defect Survey
A focused investigation of one issue — damp, mould, cracking, a roof, a leak — pinpointing likely cause and the remedial steps required.
Built for Social Housing Teams — every report includes:
