Not every day you see a TV remote permanently attached to the wall. 📺

This old Rediffusion selector switch would once have been used to change between

BBC1 and other radio and television stations delivered via a wired relay system. Long before streaming and smart TVs, this was cutting-edge home entertainment.

Surveying occasionally feels like a history lesson with a tape measure.

Some roofs keep the weather out.
This one appears capable of holding the house down during a hurricane.
Traditional stone tiles are among the heaviest roofing materials ever used in domestic construction, which helps explain why they remain relatively rare in the South East.

Some properties quietly hint at their age through weathering, craftsmanship and charm. ✨
This one has taken a different route and basically said, “Here you go, here’s the date, stop guessing.” 🤔
Fair enough — not subtle, but undeniably helpful.

Beautiful spring tulip display greeting us during a survey of an empty property this week 🌷

A real reminder of how rewarding this job can be quiet moments like this, with nature putting on a show.

Delightful summer is definitely on its way ☀️

Damp isn’t always what it seems. What gets called rising damp is often something else entirely, and treating the wrong problem can cost you time and money.

If you’re dealing with damp in a Canterbury property, start with a proper diagnosis.

Sometimes, the building tells its own story… 🌿🏡

A recent inspection revealed more than just a dislike for the current paint colour on this Conservation Area property. Thanks to natural ivy growth, sections of paint have been gently stripped back uncovering layers of previous finishes beneath.

This kind of observation can be incredibly valuable. In this case, it provides clear evidence that the current dark green isn’t original, supporting a stronger case for a more appropriate colour change when dealing with planners.

A great reminder that small details, and a bit of nature, can make a big difference in heritage decision-making.

While carrying out a recent inspection, we identified Japanese Knotweed growing within the grounds. This invasive plant species is well known for its ability to spread rapidly and cause significant damage to structures, hard landscaping, and drainage systems if left untreated.

If you suspect Japanese Knotweed may be present on your property, it’s important to seek professional advice to confirm identification and establish a suitable treatment plan.

📍 Spot it early, manage it properly.

If you have concerns about Japanese Knotweed or other issues discovered during property inspections, feel free to get in touch.
