Surveyors and Engineers for all home movers and improvers

When you need advice about your home, where do you get professional independent advice?

Northeast Surveyors and Engineers can help YOU before you start any DIY or renovation projects this Spring

Initial advice before starting any kind of renovation project

Before you start on modifying your kitchen, advice from one of our surveyors or engineers will give you valuable insight and advice into what walls might be moved, removed or reconfigured to give you the space you need to maximise storage; multi-functioned modern living means we need to use the space for cooking, entertaining and work so getting the layout right is essential before any work starts or major purchases are made

Defects and making sure you are not overcharged

 We provide professional advice on defects affecting your home. Before you get a builder in, why not get an expert Building Surveyor in to assess the defect and provide you with impartial advice and specify what needs to be done before you bring in the tradespeople. We can also provide you with a cost schedule to avoid being overcharged.

Dispute with tradesman

If you are unhappy with work carried out by a tradesman, our surveyors can provide an independent report on any work undertaken. This can help you resolve a dispute with a third person. We can act as an expert witness if you need to take legal action in the unfortunate event of sub-standard work.

Project management

We offer a project management service during building work and can liaise with your builder/tradespeople to ensure all work is carried out in accordance with legislation, regulation and to a good standard and avoid misunderstandings that are one of the most common problems encountered when carrying out building work

Party Wall

If you are planning to extend your home or carry out works to the party wall i.e. the wall that is shared between you and a neighbour, then you need to be aware of The Party Wall etc. Act 1996. Our Party Wall Surveyor can act on either or both parties’ behalf to ensure no disputes arise or mediate in such circumstances to avoid costly legal action.

Planning / Building Regulations

Before any renovation or building works start you need to understand what is possible from a planning point of view and what might be achievable from the building’s current structural layout or how the space can be best changed to meet your modern needs. Our surveyors can help you with this

Extension / Reconfiguration of internal walls

Is an extension or loft conversion the best option to get more space?  Could the reconfiguration of internal walls provide you with the extra room or additional bathroom / ensuite at a fraction of the cost of an external extension? It could also avoid the need for planning permission, why not get advice from a professional?

Getting the best price for your house

Before you put your house up for sale, why not get a survey to highlight the defects, allowing you to do the work and make more money on your home, rather than the buyer using a survey to renegotiate a lower price for your home. Remember surveys, as well as identifying any issues before you buy a home, also enable you to renegotiate on the purchase price. We all want to get the best deal!

Structural issue

Liaise and advise on other professionals, such as engineers and architects, who may be able to help resolve a defect or structural issue and can give technical guidance

Energy Efficient Homes / Saving Money

Are your energy bills going through the roof? Why not get expert advice from a surveyor to make your home as energy efficient as possible to reduce those monthly fuel bills.
