We carry out residential structural survey and commercial survey in Sherborne. Sherborne is a town which is situated in Dorset.
The attractive town of Sherborne has many attractions including an abbey and two castles. The magnificent medieval abbey is well worth a visit and there is a museum in the former abbey gatehouse which tells the history of both the abbey and the town itself. Sherborne Castle was built in 1594 by Sir Walter Raleigh and has been home to the Digby family since 1617. Today the castle is still owned by the Digbys and is used for weddings and other events. The Castle's beautiful gardens and lake were created in 1753 by Capability Brown. The 12th century Old Sherborne Castle was destroyed in the civil War in 1645 by Cromwell's troops, some of its ruins still remain and some of the artefacts are on show in Sherborne Castle.
There are many desirable areas of Sherborne such as Bradford Abbas, Nether Compton, Milborne Port and Holwell to name just a few, which have good sized traditional family accommodation.

If you are planning to book a building survey on a property you are purchasing in Sherborne 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.
