Defect Diagnosis
Our Defect Diagnosis service helps identify the cause of building issues quickly and accurately. Whether you are experiencing leaks, damp, structural concerns, or recurring maintenance problems, we provide a detailed assessment and practical guidance on the necessary remedial works.
At Engage Building Consultancy, we investigate the underlying causes of defects rather than just the symptoms. Using visual inspections and, where necessary, specialist testing or monitoring, we can pinpoint problems and provide clear recommendations. This ensures that any repairs are effective and targeted, helping to prevent recurring issues and reducing unnecessary costs.
Our reports are written in plain English and include a detailed description of the defect, its likely cause, and recommended remedial action. We can also advise on further specialist investigation or coordinate with contractors to ensure that repairs are carried out correctly.
Defect Diagnosis is suitable for all types of properties, from residential homes to commercial and mixed-use buildings. Whether you are a homeowner, landlord, insurer, or property manager, our service helps you understand what is causing a problem and how to resolve it efficiently.

-
Roof leaks, slipped tiles, or damaged flashings

Rising or penetrating damp
