Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We look for signs of footing movement such as stepped cracking in brickwork, uneven floors, sticking doors and gaps at skirtings. Where accessible, we check subfloor ventilation and moisture indicators that can worsen movement and timber deterioration.
We inspect roof cladding, ridge capping, valleys, flashings and penetrations for deterioration, loose fixings and leak pathways. In Beaumaris’ coastal environment, we pay close attention to rusted fasteners, degraded metalwork and overflow risks from blocked gutters and downpipes.
We assess brickwork, render and cladding for cracking, bulging, fretting and moisture staining. Steel lintels and wall ties can be vulnerable to corrosion near the bay, so we note rust staining, separation and movement that may indicate underlying structural or durability issues.
Bathrooms, laundries and kitchens are checked for visible waterproofing failures such as swelling cabinetry, soft flooring, loose tiles, cracking to grout/silicone and moisture staining to adjacent walls and ceilings. We also check shower bases and penetrations where leaks commonly start.
We inspect accessible external structures for deflection, rot, corrosion, loose fixings and trip hazards. Guardrails and balustrades are assessed for stability and safety risks, including areas where salt exposure can weaken fixings and connections.
We conduct a non-invasive, visual assessment for common safety concerns—such as leaks at fixtures, inadequate falls, water damage around services, and obvious electrical hazards including aged switchboards, missing safety switches (where visible) and unsafe DIY-style work indicators.

In Beaumaris we often see coastal-related corrosion on roof fixings, flashings and external steelwork, along with moisture issues around older windows, flat or low-pitched roof sections, and renovated wet areas. Movement cracking can also appear where drainage is poor or where extensions were added. Your inspection report will separate major defects from maintenance items and recommend any specialist checks if needed.
Yes. A building inspection assesses the visible and accessible parts of the structure—such as roof framing where accessible, walls, floors, subfloor areas, and signs of movement or deterioration. It also identifies safety hazards like unstable stairs, deteriorated decks, trip hazards, and obvious electrical or plumbing risks. The inspection is non-invasive, so concealed issues may require targeted follow-up testing.
We check for visible signs of moisture and leak pathways during the building inspection, including staining, swelling, mould-like growth, deteriorated sealants, and poor drainage details. We also note areas where leaks commonly begin, such as showers, balconies and roof penetrations. If we suspect concealed moisture, we’ll recommend the most practical next step, such as further investigation by a specialist.
They can be. Mid-century homes may include older materials, low-slope roofs, and earlier construction methods that behave differently over time. Renovations add another layer—waterproofing, structural changes, and service upgrades may vary in quality and compliance. During the inspection we focus on junctions between old and new work, wet-area detailing, visible workmanship, and any signs of movement or moisture transfer.
Time on site depends on the home’s size, layout and access, but most inspections allow enough time to assess the roof space (where accessible), subfloor areas, interior rooms and externals. You’ll receive a written report with photos and clear prioritisation of defects and safety issues. We’ll also talk you through the findings so you know what to act on first.
