Contract Completed: Roof surveys and Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) schedule on Grade 1 listed
Works Undertaken:
In March 2020 we undertook visual condition surveys of various roof structures to Grade I and II listed buildings at the Christopher Wren designed Royal Chelsea Hospital site. The buildings date to the late 17th century and are famously home to the Chelsea Pensioners. The roof structures comprised of large slate tiles fixed to the original timber roof trusses and the buildings have remained largely unaltered from original construction and steeped in heritage.
Detailed inspections of the roof areas were undertaken over the course of a week via MEWPS. We produced a 20 year maintenance plan for the roof areas, taking into account the importance of retaining the historic fabric to the buildings and the role sympathetic and traditional repairs have in maintaining the character of heritage buildings. We provided a detailed cyclical maintenance budget and helping plan for wholesale replacements where coverings were nearing the end of their economic life.

From the very first time I called Scott, he was very attentive to my requirements for a building survey. From the outset he noted down my areas of concern, updated me with progress prior to the survey and gave me a thorough debrief after the survey. The quality of his report was excellent, very easy to understand and, importantly, comprehensive.
I was extremely pleased with the excellent service provided by Scott Buchanan of Squarepoint Chartered Surveyors, and I hope to contact yourselves in due course with a view to getting further advice.

Fast and friendly service with an extremely thorough survey. The Surveyor’s phone call to explain the findings of the report, before the official survey was sent, was invaluable.
