We carry out residential structural surveys and commercial surveys in Beamish. Beamish is a town which is situated in Durham.
Beamish is four miles west of Chester-le-Street and near to the town of Stanley in County Durham. It is the home to one of the biggest tourist attractions in Britain, The North of England Open Air Museum. This was opened in 1970 and was set up and ran by a joint committee of the counties and boroughs of the North East of England, today however it is mainly self funding. The idea of the museum was to replicate the lives of people in a Northern town and the main features are a colliery, a drift mine, pit cottages, a railway station with a signal box and steam engines, a working farm and an old fashioned town. In the town there is a stationers, print works, dentist, co-operative store, public house and brewery stables, this seems to be the most popular attraction. The different aspects of the museum are linked together by electric tram cars and an open topped bus, which is of course necessary as the museum is spread over 200 acres.
Previously we have conducted commercial structural and building surveys while in Beamish and as building and structural engineers we have admired the renovation work that has been carried out on the 14th century Beamish Hall .
Not far from the museum is the 14 th century Beamish Hall, bought by the Craggs family in 2004, it has been extensively restored to its former glory and is now a well established luxury Hotel catering for everyone's needs. The history of the hall goes back to the Norman Conquest and has housed several prominent families with several areas of the hotel reflecting this.
Beamish town has lots of facilities for visitors from ample accommodation to pubs and bars, shops and restaurants.
If you are planning to book a building survey on a property you are purchasing in Beamish 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 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.
