What is a single-point defect report used for?

We use a single-point defect report to investigate one specific issue in a property, such as damp, cracking, rainwater ingress, drainage concerns, or an unstable wall. It's useful when you want a professional opinion on a known problem without commissioning a wider survey.

Will the report tell me what is causing the defect?

We assess the likely cause of the reported defect based on what we can inspect at the property. We also explain any associated risks and note if further investigation would be sensible before repair work starts.

Can you inspect poor DIY work or unauthorised alterations?

Yes, we can inspect concerns linked to loft conversions, internal alterations, structural changes, ventilation changes, fire safety issues, and visible building regulations concerns. The report helps you understand how that work may affect safety, value, or future saleability.

"We have been very impressed with the professionalism of Phillip Lythgoe from beginning to end. The report was very thorough and incredibly helpful. We were overwhelmed with how detailed it was and really do appreciate the helpful information and advice . Phil answered lots of questions and gave information that we didn’t even expect so it has exceeded our expectations significantly. I also really appreciate the great customer care, which is sadly too rare these days. Phil always responded quickly to calls and emails and followed up quickly every time. He was also very flexible and patient when our seller cancelled the visit at the last minute. I would not hesitate to recommend him."

Why a focused defect report can save you time

Your property does not always need a full survey when one problem is causing concern. We focus on the specific defect, which can help you make quicker decisions about repairs, safety, and next steps. That can be especially useful before instructing contractors or when you need clearer evidence for discussions about the property. Our focused approach also helps separate cosmetic symptoms from signs that point to a deeper building issue.
