Repairmen in relation to a surveyor report.

Posted by Andrew Hills, on
Hi! We have had a surveyor report done on our house and multiple issues are found; the surveyor report has not specified in most of the areas which specific type of person would be appropriate to give us a quote for. In an attempt to save money, the less people involved the better. Issues identified are: Chimney Stacks Fireplaces, chimney breasts and flues Roof Coverings Rainwater pipes and gutters Roof Structure Walls and Partitions Floors Boiler/Gas Pipes Drainage Pipes How many types of specialist are needed to deal with these areas? Can one person possibly deal with more than one of these issues? Please advise. Thanks

Hi Andrew I would agree with Z. Try a find a reputable local builder that will have a good general knowledge of most of the things on your list and have the relevant contacts for any specialist trades. Ideally you want one person to manage and be responsible for the entire works, rather than having several contacts to deal with where responsibilities may overlap. David

Hello Andrew, In my opinion,you need a builder that needs to know everything on the list above up to boiler/Gas pipes.For this you may need a plumber.However this depends of the kind of work related to the boiler.I hope this helps.
