One minute you’re changing a center console, the next you’re giving Mat Armstrong a run for his money 😂👏🏾

Nice Job! Great Video.

thanks for the video, hopefully a surveyor in a few years time once the degrees done

I love this. ❤❤❤❤

I love your opening of your videos.

Where can i buy that machine that measures absolute humidity?

what software are you using on your i pad?

I've just started my building surveying career, and I enjoy your videos very much. Please don't stop what you're doing; I really appreciate your content and the information you provide. I would highly recommend a video of all the equipment used and hopefully a link to where you purchased said equipment. It would make a great video explaining each device and the readings required for optimal conditions in the property.

Hiya, I'm recently 20 and looking into training to be a chartered building surveyor. I've looked into Sava (provides faster training) and also the 5 year degree apprenticeship. This is due to the fact that I have only 1 A level along with very strong GCSE's. My goal is to become self-employed in the trade, providing homebuyer surveys, valuations etc. Is there any advice you can provide to me on where to start/which route to take? Thank you very much for the videos you make and any advice you can provide to a young, eager prospective surveyor!

I'm with @cel4987 on this... Excellent videos, very much appreciated. Merry Christmas and happy new year.

Appreciate all the videos and knowledge shared this year, guys. Have a great Christmas!

I presume in the last house you showed us, the roofing felt was a nylon membrane as it appears to have completely melted away. Do you think it would help if the makers managed to make it fire retardant?

Hi. These videos are absolutely brilliant and have learnt so much from your video's, but quick question how do you know/what website would you use to find out what foundation a house is built on?. Kind regards.

I'd like to see a revised edition of the Malcolm Hollis book.

I see the vast majority of books are paperback. If price was not a factor, would you recommend paperback, hardback, or digital edition?

Amazing video! Thank you

Really good. An affinity for books and knowledge is a great companion in life.

No way u read all that

Great very helpful 👍

That’s more books than most people have read in their lives 😅

Practical Guide to Diagnosing Structural Movement in Buildings by Malcolm Holland is a good little book and one I regularly use 👍🏻

Would you explain a little more on actual humidity g/m3. What measurements are considered high / low? Thanks

We are told that if the RH% is between 40-60%, obviously allowing for temperature, etc., then that's a good place to be. I understand that actual humidity is a better number to use rather than RH, so are you able to say what would be a number that would signify that the humidity in a property, taking into account weather, temperature, etc., is at a good level?

After much researching on here learning some basics regarding this subject/s area I really followed what is being shown and said. Really like this subject I even want a hydrometer now haha . I've got a basic gadget that helps. Opening them windows , Drafs and the like will let wetter air at times enter . Hence the importance of knowledge and material building fabric and how replacing the air with dryer air is vital . Great video many thanks

9:04 How do you know the cost of repair? By referencing prev jobs? or you have quotations from contractors?

Love these videos! I’m a 3rd year building surveying student and it’s really nice to see the range of defects you deal with on a day to day basis. Remember your camera mate ;)🤣

Your intro always makes me think of a pilot making an announcement 😁

As someone new to this type of work and working at a place without really any mentors. These videos are so helpful. The way you go through your decision making and explain everything is fantastic. So a big thank you from me. Do you guys recommend any Internet/book resources for further technical knowledge? I'm currently doing a hnc as it was my way into the proffesion. But it's not particularly heavy on the technical side of things.

Hi , My neighbour about 7 yrs ago a installed a tiny shower /toilet in the hallway near the front door never informed us @ all . 7 years later we noticed the wallpaper pealing off the wall and the wall has black mould all over obviously there was leaks in the tiles making the wall damp they were told so by a surveyer that they hired . They are refusing to compensate me for replacing the wallpaper their insurance are saying because they stopped using the shower when we told them of the problem . My question is in the act is there any provision to claim compensation from the 3 party ? Thanks .

Great video and I would agree with all your comments in general. However, you mentioned that Rockwool insulation can burn, the same as other insulation materials if there’s a fire in the attic. Rockwool insulation rolls are fire rated as a class A1 material, so it does not burn or contribute to a fire at all. Most other common insulation materials will burn and are not class A1.

I'm a structural engineer and I do the occasional whole house survey, but mostly I'll do a specific defect survey - cracking, or roof problems etc, and when I do a whole house I do the same as you. General walk around, then outside top down the inside top down!!

Time flies when I'm enjoying your videos'🚀

Might be boring to a lot of people, but I find this kind of thing fascinating. Thanks for posting.

good call... gotta keep a totally open mind on damp problems shame we didnt see the outside... bridging can often cause a problem as we know or penetrating damp from elsewhere can also wet a wall... keep the videos going :) remember being in Pompey and seeing a tide mark up the wall all the way round, up to waist height.... where the tide was coming in?? :) not fun for the tenant customers

Very much a Dark Art not to be underestimated!

really useful reminders - thanks! am doing HA work again,, as you say need to keep a totally open mind and dont make assumptions on anythng (easily done...)

I’ve recently changed my career from drawing building plans into surveying, your videos are absolutely brilliant and food for my brain, please keep them coming. All the best

Some cool tips in this video for sure.

Cool stuff.

How do you get rid of it?

I'm going to do a video on this to warn people and will link back to this video in my video for people to learn all about it.

This was the best video I watched today on you page. All your videos are 10/10 good, but I love the AB tests it's a 15/10 good ha ha. People call me bonkers when I say let test something, so I love it when I find somebody that enjoys testing anything and enjoys being a mad scientist it's very important stuff and it's what makes you the best.

16:01 the size of that root lol.

Interesting stuff here for sure. If I could learn how to be a surveyor in 3 months I'd do it as it's not just being out and about that makes it cool, it's the fact you can help somebody get to he root problem and save them being ripped off by a bad builder. You need a medal mate.

Cool.

Loved this video. I just used one of your tips to do a youtube video. I also posted some of your videos to my property page for others to watch to say thank you for giving value.

Looks like a scene from breaking bad ha ha. Such a good video this, leaning some amazing things form you mate and I just posted this to my Facebook page for you to help with you SEO. Thank you.

Very cool.

Love your videos mate. I love simple to the point content and can't wait to see more of your videos.

Very good video.
