We carry out residential structural survey and commercial survey in Dartford. Dartford is a town which is situated in Kent.
Below the River Thames estuary with Bexley to its west and Gravesend to its east is the Medway town of Dartford in north west Kent surrounded by the villages of Crayford Ness to the north west, Stone and Bluewater to the east, Hawley and Darenth to the south and Crayford to the west. The town has good road links with M25 junction 1a, 1b and 2 close by and the A2 to Greenwich to the west and travelling east joins the M2 and a fast route to the coast which makes it a popular commuter town. The town has a railway station and there are fast links to London stations with the train journey a little over thirty minutes to either London Bridge, Victoria or Canon Street , Charing Cross, Waterloo East and London Bridge stations this again makes it a popular town for commuters. With the advent of Eurostar the Ebbsfleet International station is close by linking the area to St Pancreas International and Eurostar trains to Europe . The area boasts two large shopping centres nearby – Lakeside and Bluewater with a wealth of High St retailers and plenty of car parking spaces a must for lovers of retail therapy with many cafes and restaurants to enjoy also. The town has several arts venues including the Mick Jagger Centre, in Shepherd's Lane, opened in 2000, (Mick Jagger of The Rolling Stones, was born in Dartford in 1943), The Miskin Theatre, in Oakfield Lane and The Orchard Theatre, Suffolk Rd all popular centres with a wealth of events held each year. We have often carried out both commercial and residential building surveys and particularly admire some of the historic buildings in the town including the Grade II Listed Acacia Hall Manor house which today is a leisure and business complex and the delightful columned building of the Dartford Museum and Library in Market Street.
Roads such as Shepherds Lane and Coopers Drive in Dartford have some large detached properties with surrounding areas such as Farningham, Eynsford and Wilmington also have some substantial dwellings in this popular part of Kent.
If you are planning to book a building survey on a property you are purchasing in Dartford 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.
