Thank you for your kind comments. I will and I have loads to upload, just been really busy that this fun stuff has had to take a back burner. Internals will cover the loft space, internal elements and services. Watch this space!
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.
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
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...)
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
Fantastic video. Extremely useful as a trainee surveyor. Very well explained.
Please post a Part 2!

Hi and thank you for your comment, essentially you can’t. If it’s a reasonably modern house you could check with the local council building control.

Nicely done enjoyed this , What other techniques and equipment do you use ?
We have lots of kit, but it really depends on what we are doing as to what we use. Thank you for the comment.
Hi I’m having some problems with damp and rats biting I need to find a proper surveyor to look at an investment property
You look very similar to the footballer Dimitar Berbatov, are you related? Thanks for the video
I’m sorry, but not being into footballering I have no idea who this chap is!
Fantastic video, but volume is inconsistent and not always clear. Great content!
Good job

Hi, to work as an MRICS qualified building surveyor, you’d need an RICS accredited degree.
Is this a level 2 or 3
The audio was very low. Please work out the sound with the body mic.. otherwise, missed many points.
Thank you for your comment. Will try and sort the sound on the next one.
Edit so beat way to fix old buildings is repoint again in lime
Yes that’s correct
Obviously talking Shute otherwise he would allow us to hear what he had to say

Are you a building surveyor?
This makes me want to be a building surveyor
It made me want to become a video sound recordist
It makes me want to become a burglar!
