Building Surveyors in Macclesfield

Yes. Macclesfield is a straightforward trip from our Altrincham base and we cover the town and the surrounding SK10 and SK11 area, along with Prestbury, Bollington, Poynton, Rainow and the wider Cheshire East villages. The price is the same across the whole catchment — there is no travel surcharge and no regional uplift.

Usually a Level 3 Building Survey. Older solid-walled terraces — including the three-storey weavers' houses with long upper-floor windows — tend to have been altered and repaired repeatedly over a long life, and a Level 3 goes into construction, cause and remedy rather than recording condition alone. A Level 2 Home Survey is the more proportionate choice for a conventional modern house on the outskirts in reasonable condition. Send us the property details and we will say which level it warrants before you book.

Yes. The Level 2 Home Survey is what most people mean by a home buyer survey. It records the condition of everything visible and accessible, rates each element and sets out what needs attention, and it is the level most commonly instructed on conventional housing. Where a property is older, larger, extended or heavily altered — common in and around the town centre — a Level 3 Building Survey is the better fit.

No. Those are separate disciplines with their own qualifications. A land or topographical survey measures levels, boundaries and features; a measured building survey records a building's dimensions and geometry to produce drawings. We are a residential building surveying practice — we inspect a property's condition and report on defects, which is a different job. If you need drawings or levels, a land surveying practice is who to approach.

We can usually attend within a few days of instruction, and reports are typically delivered within 5 working days of the inspection. If you are working to a tight exchange date, say so when you enquire and we will tell you honestly whether we can meet it.
