With over 30 years of local experience, Brick Frog Ltd provides a personal, independent surveying service. Led by Ian Rhodes-Elson MRICS, we specialise in Cambridgeshire’s unique heritage properties and deliver detailed reports within 3–5 working days of inspection.
Buying a home is likely the biggest investment you will ever make. Most buyers only spend 30 minutes viewing a property before making an offer—hardly enough time to spot structural distortion or hidden defects. That is where we come in.
At Brick Frog Ltd, we believe it is not just about doing surveys; it is about providing a dedicated service to you. As an independent sole trader led by Ian Rhodes-Elson, MRICS, our reputation is built on being reliable, accessible, and deeply knowledgeable about the local landscape.
30 Years of Cambridgeshire Expertise
Ian has been surveying in the Cambridge area since 1986. This local longevity is vital because our region features a unique variety of construction materials that many national firms might overlook. We have extensive experience with:
- Traditional Materials: Hewn chalk (clunch), clay bat, and stone rubble walls.
- Specialist Masonry: Rat trap bond and solid masonry variations.
- Heritage Roofing: Thatch (straw and reed), Collyweston slates, and traditional clay tiles.
- Post-War Construction: Identifying non-standard builds that may affect mortgage lending.
A Personal Approach to Professional Advice
Because we are a small, independent practice, you aren't just a number in a system. We are always accessible to discuss your specific requirements before the inspection.
"We are happy to meet you on-site to walk through our findings or discuss the report elsewhere to ensure you fully understand every detail before you commit to your purchase."
We pride ourselves on speed without compromising on quality. We aim to deliver your completed report within 3 to 5 working days of the inspection, keeping you informed every step of the way.
