Property surveys in South Wales

Surveying the property found across South Wales

South Wales spans the Victorian and Edwardian suburbs of Cardiff and Swansea, the stone-built valley terraces of Pontypridd, Merthyr Tydfil and Caerphilly, and coastal housing at Penarth, Barry, Bridgend and Llanelli.

Valley property has distinct characteristics: steeply sloping plots, retaining walls that carry more load than they look capable of, stepped terraces where one property's movement affects the next, and a legacy of mining that sits behind many enquiries about cracking.

In the cities and along the coast, solid walls, worn render and roof coverings near the end of their service life are the common findings, and we tell you clearly which need action before completion.
