OUR STORY

With over 30 years in the building trade and more than 25 years in residential surveying, I combine practical construction expertise with specialist knowledge in moisture, restoration, and building pathology.

About Me

I have worked in the building industry for over 30 years, with more than 25 years’ experience within the residential surveying sector. My background is firmly rooted in hands-on construction, property restoration, and insurance-related reinstatement works — giving me a practical, real-world understanding of how buildings perform, fail, and are properly repaired.

I specialise in identifying moisture-related issues, including damp, condensation, and flooding damage. Importantly, I do not just diagnose defects — I provide clear, practical guidance on effective and proportionate solutions.

My experience includes assessing for restoring, and repairing buildings affected by:

• Moisture ingress
• Condensation and mould
• Flood damage
• Insurance reinstatement works
• Inappropriate or failed previous repairs

Alongside specialist moisture investigations, I also carry out comprehensive Building Surveys for those purchasing their new home — ensuring you fully understand the condition, risks, and repair implications before you commit.

Qualifications & Professional Memberships

To ensure the highest professional standards, I have undertaken extensive training and hold recognised qualifications and memberships.

I am regulated by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and hold a Level 6 Diploma in Residential Surveying.

I am also:

• A member of the Residential Property Surveyors Association (RPSA)
• An Associate of the British Damage Management Association (BDMA)

In addition, I have recently achieved a Distinction Certificate in Conveyancing, which enhances my understanding of the legal aspects surrounding property transactions — providing added value when carrying out Building Surveys.

I have also completed carbon literacy training in conjunction with English Heritage, strengthening my approach to traditional and historic buildings, particularly when advising on sympathetic and sustainable repair methods.

Specialist Expertise

A unique aspect of my background is that I am also a Drying and Moisture Migration Specialist. While this does not always arise in standard Building Surveys, it is invaluable when assessing:

• Flood-damaged properties
• Drying strategies
• Reinstatement timelines
• Insurance-related works

This enables me to provide realistic guidance on drying periods and reinstatement timescales where required.

Areas Covered

I am based in West Sussex, working locally across the region.

However, I have regularly travelled throughout the UK for many years to assist clients dealing with complex property issues — whether damp, flooding, or the need for an independent and impartial Building Survey.

My approach combines traditional building knowledge, modern diagnostic techniques, and professional regulation — ensuring clear, honest, and technically sound advice for every property I inspect.
