14 Court Avenue, Stoke Gifford, Bristol, Gloucestershire, BS34 8PJ, Bristol
We are independent surveyors in Bristol who put you first. Using 20m masts, thermal imaging, and asbestos sampling, we uncover what others miss. Plus, our fees are based on property complexity, not the purchase price, ensuring you get a fair deal and a comprehensive, illustrated report.
Buying a property is one of the most significant investments you will ever make. At Domestic Surveys, we believe you deserve more than a generic checklist. We are an independent building surveying practice dedicated to providing homeowners, buyers, and landlords across Bristol, Bath, and Gloucestershire with the clarity they need to move forward with confidence.
Why We Work Differently
Most people don't realise that a mortgage valuation is for the lender, not the buyer. We work exclusively for you. We don't base our fees on the price of your property; instead, we look at the size and complexity of the building to ensure our pricing is as fair and transparent as our reports.
"Our mission is to identify potentially expensive problems before they become your burden, using the best technology available today."
Seeing What Others Miss with Advanced Technology
We don't just look at what is at eye level. Our team uses a suite of high-tech tools to inspect the hard-to-reach areas of your potential home:
- High-Level Inspections: We use 10.5m and 20m "Mega Masts" and boom cameras to get a bird's-eye view of rooftops and chimneys.
- Thermal Imaging: We identify hidden damp, insulation gaps, and structural anomalies that the naked eye simply cannot see.
- Endoscopic Cameras: We can peer inside cavities and tight spaces to check for defects without being invasive.
- Specialist Testing: From metal detectors to locate failing wall ties to asbestos sampling in older properties, we leave no stone unturned.
A Personal Consultation After Every Survey
A thick report can be overwhelming. That’s why we don’t just send a PDF and disappear. Once you have reviewed your illustrated report, we arrange a Skype or Zoom meeting with your surveyor. This is your time to ask questions, understand the implications of our findings, and gain the leverage you might need to renegotiate a purchase price.
