How to survey a house - Part 1 

Spot on about the pointing. Our 200yr old cottage has pointing which is dusty to touch, it is also quite recessed as it was shoved in by hand in clumps! Some surveyors would deemed it bad and state it needs re-pointing. In fact this lets the cottage breath and for moisture to escape, there is zero damp. The stone is also layed with a slight downward angle so water can run out of them. Our shed is also stone. It has zero pointing and is dry as a bone inside! Cement pointing like in the video is so bad, rake it out and get lime in there, you can DIY it, not hard just time consuming

Are you going to do a video on how to lip read?

Fantastic video. Extremely useful as a trainee surveyor. Very well explained. Please post a Part 2!

Videos like this are indispensable! Thanks

This is really informative. I'm subscribed!

Fantastic video, but volume is inconsistent and not always clear. Great content!

Nicely done enjoyed this , What other techniques and equipment do you use ?

The header bonds What do you suggest when they become porus,and start moisture and thermal bridging?

The audio was very low. Please work out the sound with the body mic.. otherwise, missed many points.

You look very similar to the footballer Dimitar Berbatov, are you related? Thanks for the video

Hi I’m having some problems with damp and rats biting I need to find a proper surveyor to look at an investment property

Is this a level 2 or 3

Good job I would like to know how an Estate Surveyor from nigeria could have a carier as a Building Surveyor in the UK if he is relocating to the UK on a dependant working visa. Tx

Edit so beat way to fix old buildings is repoint again in lime

Obviously talking Shute otherwise he would allow us to hear what he had to say

This makes me want to be a building surveyor
