We carry out residential structural survey and commercial survey in Dorking. Dorking is a town which is situated in Surrey.
South of junction 9 of the M25 and Leatherhead on the A24 is the market town of Dorking situated in a slim valley flanked by the Greensand Hills in the south and the chalky North Downs. The town has a mixture of old and new buildings with several fine examples of Victorian and Edwardian architecture as well as some old coaching inns and is always a delight to visit when carrying out structural building surveys. The towns library, with its decorative interior, was built in 1856, named Pippbrook House, along with other large houses for the gentry of London who wished to live in the area although today there are plans to move the library. The town has associations with notable people in the past including the actor Laurence Olivier who was born in 26 Wathen Rd , the Pilgrim Father William Mullins lived in West Street and there is a statue of composer Ralph Vaughan Williams outside Dorking Halls as he lived in the town and conducted at Leigh Hill Music Festivals. The town has some fascinating caves within the soft sandstone beneath South Street and the High Street which have been formed into passages and shafts descending in excess of fifty feet below ground level and thought to have been used in the past by smugglers, those hiding from religious persecution and for storing wine.
There is a vast variety of ages and types of properties in the area many of which are palatial in this sought after area including prestigious homes in Pixham Lane, Tower Hill and Okewood Hill for example.
If you are planning to book a building survey on a property you are purchasing in Dorking or the surrounding area then we would like to assure you that we always send a suitably qualified and experienced surveyor to carry out the job. This ensures that you get expert advice on any issues that we may find with the property we are surveying. All our surveyors are members of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors - RICS - and are Independent Surveyors. Being 'independent' means that they are working for you and you alone; they do not work for a mortgage company or an estate agents, so they have your best interests at heart.
All our surveys contain lots of images, clearly showing any problems that we have identified at the property such as woodworm, rising damp or cracking to the walls. We also use sketches in our survey which are aimed at helping you to understand how certain areas are constructed or to help show more clearly a problem that we have identified. You will also find lots of definitions of any building terminology that we may use in our survey, as we firmly believe in 'Plain English' and really want you to fully understand what we are saying in the survey report.
