We carry out residential structural surveys and commercial surveys in Sowerby Bridge. Sowerby Bridge is a town which is situated in West Yorkshire.
Sowerby Bridge is an area we Surveyors can enjoy carrying out Building Surveys for Commercial and Residential properties in. It was only considered a hamlet until the Industrial Revolution and with the exploration of water power, this lead to the construction of even larger mills, thus leading the people to move away from the surrounding hillsides to the valley to get employment. The growth of Sowerby Bridge is attributed to the rapid development of transport and communications in the 18th and 19th centuries. Sowerby Bridge was connected to Rochdale with the introduction of the Turnpike roads (toll roads) with their much improved quality ensuring much faster means of transportation. The railways and steam power gave a further boost to the economy and in the 1800s many public buildings were built, showing the growing prosperity of Sowerby Bridge and in 1853 it was described as a large but well built village by the “Whites Directory” and remained as a flourishing town until the mid 20th century until foreign competition especially in the cloth industry led to its decline.
Today there are several initiatives to help restore, what has been several decades of decline, with the Rochdale Canal now restored for leisure use and mills complex home to many small businesses and plans to help relieve the traffic flow in the main street.
If you are planning to book a building survey on a property you are purchasing in Sowerby Bridge 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.
