Specialist Component Testing

Both modern and historic buildings rely on the performance of highly specific structural components and materials. When these elements fail or require verification, CONSURV deploys targeted specialist testing to provide unequivocal diagnostic data. Whether evaluating the integrity of external façades, assessing floor screeds or investigating complex water ingress, our methodologies are meticulously designed to answer defined technical questions. This empirical data forms the foundation for safe, compliant and cost-effective remedial works.

  • Building Condition Investigations and Audits

    Our condition surveys provide a detailed assessment of a property and its principal components.

  • Building Pathology and Defect Diagnosis

    Independent investigation of water ingress, cracking and material failure to identify underlying causes.

  • Conservation Reports

    We prepare conservation reports that record a building’s history, construction, condition and significance.

  • Damp, Timber Decay and Mould

    Expert diagnosis of moisture movement and rot to target the source and control decay without unnecessary removal of historic fabric.

  • Façades and External Envelopes

    Independent, non-destructive façade assessments and expert restoration supervision to protect the structural integrity of your building’s envelope.

  • Fixings and Anchorage Reviews

    Independent review of fixing and anchor proposals, technical information and pull-test results to ensure structural safety.

  • Flooring and Screed Assessments

    Specialist advice on commercial floors, screeds and preparation systems, including in-situ assessment of screed soundness.

  • Monitoring of Building Works

    We inspect residential construction work at agreed stages and report on visible progress.

  • Planned Maintenance and Portfolio Surveys

    For clients responsible for multiple properties, we provide consistent survey and reporting formats across a portfolio.

  • Pre-Acquisition and Technical Due Diligence

    We assess commercial property before purchase, occupation or lease, identifying significant defects and maintenance liabilities.

  • RAAC Surveys and Management

    Visual inspections, condition surveys and monitoring programmes for properties containing Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete.

  • Repair Recommendations and Project Monitoring

    Following investigation, we provide clear recommendations addressing the identified defects and review proposed repair methods.
