We carry out residential structural surveys and commercial surveys in Rainham and the Rainham area.

Interesting Facts About Rainham and the Rainham Area

Rainham village has been in existence for around 800 years and is centered round the Church of St Helen and St Giles. Recorded in the Domesday Book as Rainham in 1086.

Situated in the centre of the village is the old Clock Tower with its four faces. Built as a war memorial it is dedicated to remember those who lost their lives during the First World War. The Remembrance Day service continues to be held there every year.

Probably the most famous attraction in the area is the stylish Rainham Hall built in 1729 for a well known sea Captain John Harle. The house is now owned by the National Trust and has been tastefully restored. It is also blessed with a magnificent garden which is certainly worth a visit.

Local public houses in the area include the Bell Inn, The Phoenix offering accommodation as well as a live band every Saturday and the Angel Inn .

If you visit Rainham in May or December you may be lucky enough to find yourself amidst their twice yearly Victorian Fayre. Major roads in the area are closed and stalls are set up along the streets selling a variety of handmade items. It is truly a great day out and one that the community is extremely proud of.

Whilst surveying properties in the area we noted the many fine features of properties in Farm Road and Berwick Road area of Rainham. If you are considering purchasing a property in the area we would strongly urge you have a full survey carried out on it. Our team of surveyors are extremely dedicated and fully understand how stressful purchasing a property can be. We are totally independent which means we work solely for you the client and have your best interests at heart. We are not in any way tied into a bank or building society. If you would like to discuss your requirements further then please call us on 0800 298 5424 or take a look at our website 1stAssociated.co.uk where you will find some good examples of surveys already completed in the Rainham area.

Residential & Commercial Building Surveyors

Residential Building Surveyor

Our Residential Building Surveys are tailor made to suit your requirements. When you book your survey we will ask you to grade your building survey knowledge from 1 - 4, with 1 being 'next to no building survey knowledge' and 4 being 'excellent building survey knowledge'. From this we can tailor make your building survey. Depending upon your knowledge level we will add additional photographs to the building survey or will give you more definitions of building terminology, or add extra sketches to help describe particular areas of concern or to show you for example what type of roof your proposed property has or what type of brickwork the property is built in. By doing this we can make sure that you completely understand the property you are buying and that you understand what the issues are.

Commercial Building Surveyor

Our Commercial Building Surveys are also tailored to suit your property requirements. When you book your survey we will ask you to grade your commercial property knowledge from 1 - 4, with 1 being 'next to no commercial property knowledge' and 4 being 'excellent commercial property knowledge'. From this we can tailor make your building survey. So depending on how much knowledge you have of Commercial building surveying and typical problems arising from commercial building surveying our building surveyors can adjust their building survey report accordingly and include more photos and detail descriptions of the issue and your best course of action to fix them.
