Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We inspect exposed steel, fixings, balustrades, lintels, roof flashings and external brackets for early rust, pitting and coating failure. In Beaumaris, salt-laden air can accelerate corrosion, which can loosen connections, stain masonry, and open pathways for water entry.
We check for sagging gutters, blocked outlets, poor falls, loose downpipes and overflow points that dump water against walls. Minor drainage faults are a common starting point for damp patches, peeling paint and subfloor moisture issues after heavy rain.
We assess gaps, perished caulking, sticking doors, window racking and frame movement. Small sealing failures can drive draughts and moisture into timber sills and reveals, and alignment issues can indicate minor movement that deserves monitoring.
We look for silicone breakdown, grout cracking, drummy tiles, lifting skirting, stained cornices and moisture-related swelling around bathrooms, laundries and kitchens. These small signs often appear well before a major leak becomes obvious.
We document hairline cracking to plaster, brickwork and joints, plus separation at architraves and cornices. We note likely causes such as shrinkage, minor settlement or thermal movement, and flag patterns that may warrant further investigation.
Where accessible, we check vents, airflow restrictions and visible signs of dampness under floors and around the base of walls. Minor ventilation issues can build humidity over time, encouraging mould, timber decay and floor cupping.

Find answers to the most frequently asked questions about our inspection service.
In Beaumaris, we often see early corrosion to flashings, fixings and balustrades, plus tired sealants around windows and wet areas. Blocked gutters and downpipes are also common and can cause overflow against external walls. These issues may look small, but coastal exposure and wind-driven rain can escalate them into leaks, damp and timber deterioration quickly.
Yes. This service is targeted at smaller faults that commonly get overlooked—like deteriorated sealants, early moisture indicators, minor cracking patterns, and drainage performance issues. A full building inspection is broader and assesses major structural and safety concerns in more depth. If you’re unsure which you need for a Beaumaris property, we can help you choose based on the building type and your risk tolerance.
We can inspect the areas you have access to, including your unit/townhouse and any common areas available at the time (such as shared driveways, external walls, stairwells or basements), noting access limitations. Minor defects in strata properties often relate to water management—gutters, balcony edges and sealing—so we document what we can see and suggest what to raise with the owners corporation where needed.
They can. Low-pitch and flatter roof sections are less forgiving when gutters overflow or flashings deteriorate. Small ponding areas, aging membrane details, and undersized drainage points can allow moisture to track into ceilings and wall junctions. We pay close attention to roof penetrations, junctions, gutters and visible internal indicators so you can act before a minor defect becomes an internal leak.
Yes. Your report lists each defect with context on why it matters, then we prioritise items that can lead to water ingress, ongoing damage or safety concerns. We also note maintenance items that can be scheduled. If you’re buying in Beaumaris, we can explain which defects are worth negotiating on and which are typical upkeep for the property’s age and coastal exposure.
