JL Conservation Surveyors provide a comprehensive detailed inspection report that includes images and descriptions of any fault areas together with a reinstatement breakdown of costs inclusive of recommendations. We constantly see building survey reports written by people who have no understanding of the building they are looking at. A failure to understand historic fabric is commonplace. Almost all surveys fail to observe that a building is breathable – made from lime mortar, hand made brick, or porous stone. They fail to understand the ramifications of using modern materials on such buildings.
