Who am I?

My name is Robert Warren and I have been working within the preservation industry for over 20 years.  During this time I have served a 5 year apprenticeship in carpentry and joinery, and have carried out all aspects of timber and damp remedial works, before becoming a fully qualified Building Surveyor.  I now hold the CSRT qualification and have a wealth of experience dealing with properties of all ages and varying constructional methods.  I have worked for many companies as well as running a successful business, I now offer my knowledge and experience in a fully advisory and independent capacity for those that wish for a professional unbiased opinion.

What I offer

I will for an inspection fee carry out a personal survey of a property or problem within a property.  I will then provide a full report and CAD drawing of the areas of potential faults together with an explanation of the source of moisture ingress complete with specifications and material requirements for your builder or contractor to work to or provide trained and experienced qualified operatives to carry out the necessary works.
My surveys and reports are tailor made for the age and type of property, and the materials specified will be suitable for the application intended.  All of which will be in the clients interest not a sales based. 

I also offer a full impartial advice service, which can eliminate confusion and uncertainty when a client is faced with several reports which carry conflicting areas of treatment and advice.  I can be also employed to supervise stages of works on site or at your property. 

 

All works and materials specified will be in accordance with the BWPDA (British Wood Preserving and Damp Proofing Association) guidelines.
