Specific Item Inspection

Got one thing on your mind? Let's just look at that.

Not every concern needs a full building inspection. What we're called out for most often is a dispute over workmanship — you've had a tradesperson in to do a job and you're not convinced it's been done properly. We'll take a close look at the work and give you a clear, independent, written opinion on whether it's actually up to standard.

What This Covers

A targeted look at the thing that's actually worrying you

Every property has its own quirks — but the most common reason we're called in is a workmanship dispute: a tradesperson has finished a job and you're not happy with it. Our written opinion gives you independent evidence of whether the work is genuinely up to standard, which you can rely on if it ends up being argued over.

  • Poor tradesman workmanship

    Had work done and not happy with it? We assess the finished job against an acceptable standard and give you independent evidence to back up — or settle — the disagreement.

  • A crack in a wall or slab

    Is it cosmetic, or something more? We'll assess it and explain what it actually means.

  • Water ingress or dampness

    A stain, a musty smell, a soft patch — we'll test it and trace where it's coming from.

  • Retaining walls, decks & pergolas

    Structures that carry real load deserve a proper look if something seems off.

  • Driveways & paving movement

    Cracking, lifting or settling paths and driveways, assessed for cause and severity.

  • Fences & boundary structures

    Leaning, damaged or ageing fences and boundary walls.

  • Anything else on your mind

    If it's specific and it's bothering you, tell us about it — we'll let you know if we can help.

Independent evidence when you need to prove the work isn't up to standard.

Whether it's tiling, rendering, carpentry or any other trade, we'll inspect the finished work and tell you plainly whether it meets an acceptable standard — in writing, so you've got something solid to put in front of the tradesperson, their employer, or anyone else involved in sorting it out.
