Defect Survey Report
At Marshall Laurence Surveyors, we specialize in Defect Surveys, offering expert analysis and diagnosis of property defects.

Our detailed defect surveys are designed to identify issues early, providing clear recommendations for remedial action.
What is a defect survey?
A Defect Survey is a specialized inspection aimed at diagnosing specific problems within a building. This could include issues such as damp, structural movement, roofing problems, or any other concern that may compromise the safety, stability, or value of the property. Our RICS Chartered Surveyors conduct a thorough investigation of the problem, identifying the underlying cause and providing detailed advice on the best course of action. Whether it’s a minor issue or something more complex, our defect surveys give you the information you need to address the problem effectively.
Why Choose a defect survey?
There are several reasons why a defect survey might be necessary:
In-Depth Analysis
Understand the true source of the problem, whether it’s related to construction, materials, or environmental factors.
Prevent Further Damage
Early detection of defects can prevent more serious damage and costly repairs down the line.
Informed Decision-Making
Our survey provides clear guidance on the steps needed to rectify the issue, helping you make informed decisions about repairs and maintenance.
Protect Your Investment
A defect survey ensures that any problems are properly diagnosed and addressed, protecting the long-term value of your property.
Expert Diagnosis
With our extensive experience, we can accurately identify issues that may be overlooked by less specialized surveys.
