Building & Structural Compliance covers a range of essential inspections and certifications designed to keep your property safe, legal, and structurally sound. From damp and mould surveys to FENSA-aligned window and door certification, and asbestos management reports, we inspect every element that supports your building’s integrity and longevity.
We ensure your property meets current UK regulations, including the Housing Health & Safety Rating System (HHSRS), Building Regulations Part L, and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. Our practical, plain-English reports include clear action plans so you know exactly what needs fixing—and why.
This service is ideal for landlords, housing managers, commercial property owners, care facilities, HMOs, and schools. Whether you’re preparing for an inspection in Camden, managing flats in Lewisham, or upgrading a care home in Croydon, we ensure your building is structurally compliant and inspection-ready.
Qualified Assessors You Can Trust
Every surveyor holds relevant accreditations—Chartered Structural Engineers, FENSA certificate holders, UKAS asbestos surveyors. We don’t compromise on professionalism or safety.
Clear, Actionable Reports
No jargon, no fluff—just simple descriptions, priority levels, and easy-to-follow next steps. You’ll always know what’s urgent, what’s optional, and what will save you costs down the line.
Tailored for London Properties
Based in South East London, we know local building stock—from Victorian terraces to modern HMOs. We understand how damp behaves in Brixton basements and what Lambeth inspectors look for.
Fast, Local & Friendly
We typically deliver inspection reports within 72 hours. Our team is polite, on-time, and professional—with no hard sell at the door.
Protect your property—and tenants—from hidden water damage.
Damp and mould are among the most common reasons landlords and property managers fail housing inspections in London. Our damp and mould surveys identify the root causes of moisture issues—whether it’s rising damp from poor foundations, condensation build-up behind furniture, or water ingress from defective rooflines or flashing. We use moisture meters and thermal imaging to pinpoint the source of the problem, not just the symptoms.
Left untreated, damp and mould can cause serious health problems—especially for young children, the elderly, or asthma sufferers—and it can result in housing enforcement notices or rent repayment orders. Our reports are written in clear, practical language, with action points prioritised so you know what needs to be done first. Whether you’re preparing for an HHSRS inspection in Peckham or responding to tenant complaints in Croydon, our survey gives you the clarity and confidence to resolve issues quickly and legally.
Avoid compliance issues during remortgage or sale.
Installing new windows or doors? If they’re not FENSA-certified or backed by a Building Control certificate, you could face delays during resale, mortgage issues, or fines for non-compliance. We inspect your existing window and door installations to verify whether they meet UK Building Regulations Part L for energy efficiency and thermal performance—and we help identify gaps in certification or structural concerns such as cold bridging or poor sealing.
In blocks of flats, HMOs, and commercial units across Bromley, Greenwich, and Beckenham, we’ve helped property owners avoid legal snags by catching unregistered installs early. Where needed, we can issue documentation to bring installations up to spec or recommend cost-effective remedial works. Whether you’re managing 3 flats or 300, we help you avoid the silent red flags that can halt a sale, fail an audit, or trigger enforcement.
Handle hidden hazards with confidence.
Asbestos is still found in thousands of London properties—particularly those built or refurbished before 2000. We carry out UKAS-backed asbestos surveys to help landlords, duty holders, and commercial managers meet their obligations under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. We locate and sample suspect materials in ceilings, lofts, risers, ducting, pipe lagging, and floor tiles, giving you a full risk profile of the building.
Our reports include lab-tested results, photos, condition assessments, and a management plan with clear actions. Whether you need a one-off asbestos management survey for a rented property in Lewisham, or a refurbishment & demolition (R&D) survey before works begin in a commercial unit in Camberwell, we deliver fast, practical, and clear compliance documentation. We also support safe removal through trusted contractors if asbestos is confirmed.
Know where your building stands—before problems emerge.
Our building condition reports are ideal for landlords, housing associations, and asset managers who want a clear overview of their property’s structural condition. We inspect everything from external cladding and brickwork to floor stability, roof insulation, ceiling movement, fire-stopping, and internal finishes. This is especially useful for older London stock like Victorian conversions or council-built estates, where issues often go unnoticed until it’s too late.
We highlight any compliance risks, visible defects, or early signs of failure—then we give you a practical summary with photo evidence and recommended next steps. These reports are perfect for preparing budgets, planning upgrades, meeting compliance deadlines, or preparing for valuation and resale. If you’re managing multiple buildings, we can even create condition schedules across your portfolio, allowing you to prioritise works based on urgency and risk.

A Building & Structural Compliance inspection covers key elements of your property’s condition and safety—such as damp and mould, window and door certification, asbestos risks, and overall building fabric health. We check areas like ceilings, walls, floors, insulation, ventilation, external brickwork, glazing, and fire-stopping. Our goal is to help you stay compliant with UK housing regulations and avoid enforcement issues by spotting problems early.
There’s no legal time frame for general structural inspections like there is with EICRs or gas safety checks, but regular building condition reports are highly recommended—especially for older homes, HMOs, or properties showing signs of damp or wear. Councils often expect housing providers to have up-to-date surveys under the Housing Health & Safety Rating System (HHSRS). If you’re planning to sell, renovate, or let out your property, a structural review can prevent costly surprises.
If your windows or doors were installed after 2002 and don’t have a FENSA certificate or Building Control approval, you could run into legal issues when renting, refinancing, or selling your property. It may also impact your EPC rating or cause your insurance to be invalidated. We help verify installations, assess compliance with Building Regulations Part L, and issue supporting documentation or guidance for bringing installations up to standard.
If your building was constructed or refurbished before the year 2000, there’s a good chance asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) may be present. You’ll need an asbestos survey if you’re managing a rental property, planning refurbishment works, or responsible for the safety of tenants, staff, or contractors. Our UKAS-accredited asbestos surveys help you meet your legal duties under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, with simple, fast reporting and management plans if asbestos is found.
