We carry out residential structural survey and commercial survey in Accrington. Accrington is a town which is situated in Cheshire.
Accrington is a town about 4 miles away from Blackburn. As chartered surveyors we travel here to carry out building surveys in the area.
Along with many other Lancashire towns Accrington transformed from a rural agricultural town to an industrial town during the Industrial Revolution. Spinning and weaving dominated the community. The first mill was established around 1792 and as the industry continued to grow, by 1911 Accrington had around 14000 looms, 166000 spindles and employed more than 18000 people. The town also manufactured its own spinning and weaving machinery.
By 1878 Accrington became a Borough. Because of the decline in the textile industry in the mid-20 th century due to cheaper foreign textile imports, the mills gradually closed. Coal mining continued to survive in the borough until 1968.
Today Accrington is undergoing a major regeneration programme aimed mainly at its town centre.
The town is home to many of the major shops and supermarkets and has many fast food outlets, cafes and restaurants.
While in town providing building surveys and property reports we visited the Haworth Art Gallery. The building is Edwardian Tudor style and is situated in its own park. It houses the largest public collection of Tiffany glass in Europe.
If you are planning to book a building survey on a property you are purchasing in Accrington or the surrounding area then we would like to assure you that we always send a suitably qualified and experienced surveyor to carry out the job. This ensures that you get expert advice on any issues that we may find with the property we are surveying. All our surveyors are members of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors - RICS - and are Independent Chartered Building Surveyors. Being 'independent' means that they are working for you and you alone; they do not work for a mortgage company or an estate agents, so they have your best interests at heart.
All our survey contain lots of images, clearly showing any problems that we have identified at the property such as woodworm, rising damp or cracking to the walls. We also use sketches in our survey which are aimed at helping you to understand how certain areas are constructed or to help show more clearly a problem that we have identified. You will also find lots of definitions of any building terminology that we may use in our survey, as we firmly believe in 'Plain English' and really want you to fully understand what we are saying in the survey report.
