We carry out residential structural surveys and commercial surveys in Sheffield. Sheffield is a town which is situated in South Yorkshire.
Sheffield is situated where the point of the river Shear meets the River Don and is mainly the product of the Victorian era. The surrounding areas were important in ancient times with a Celtic fortress located in Wincobank, a suburb of Sheffield and others being found in Hathersage moor near Dore and Scholes Wood near Rotherham. There is a castle and a manor house in Sheffield which housed Mary Queen of Scots for 14 years when she was imprisoned by Queen Elizabeth I.
Sheffield became most famous for the making of steel since at least the 1300s, and by the 1500s became known for specialising in the making of cutlery but later with great improvements to the steel making technique by a mechanic by the name of Huntsman it became more expert in the making of steel springs and pendulums for watches. Improvements continued in the Victorian times with the development of the Bessemer process in the 1850s this was invented by Henry Bessemer who had set up steelworks in Sheffield. Stainless Steel was pioneered at Sheffield in 1903 and during the 1 st and 2nd WWs Sheffield manufactured armaments, thus making it a target for enemy bombing so suffered much damage. Sheffield is also famous for the making of the Sheffield Plate, which was invented by Thomas Bolsouver in 1742, but was later superseded by the electroplating process which was discovered in 1840.
Old factories, workshops and industrial estates still existed until the mid 1980s which added to the perception of Sheffield being a dirty, grimy place to live, but with heavy investment and redevelopment there are now many new housing estates, recreational and shopping areas for all to enjoy. We have provided residential surveys and home buyer reports. There are also recreational and shopping areas for all to enjoy. With a large student population Sheffield has a popular social scene, with lots of bars, restaurants and cafes catering for all tastes and budgets. There are a number of museums, galleries and theatres for the more cultural experience.
If you are planning to book a building survey on a property you are purchasing in Sheffield 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.
