Surveyor tips was founded by Simon Hichens, a independent, RICS qualified expert witness and damp and timber surveyor.
- There is a dearth of evidence based advice for surveyors and almost no sharing of tips between each other, property experts and homeowners.
- We hope to start the conversation.
- Our initial focus is residential damp surveying and remedies.
- Damp is the single greatest concern to property buyers, yet very few surveyors are experts at tracing damp to its root cause.
- We welcome expert opinion on damp and other areas of concern to surveyors and homeowners.
