Will a property with stone walls create more problems? What related issues should we be aware of? Does the surveyor give advice on this?

Ranging from Stainton Sandstone to Broadway Dark Cream Limestone, the stone used in a home's structure will impact maintenance. Issues which impact the lifespan of stone-built elements are as diverse as the stone varieties themselves.

Regular stone walls are built with prepared or cut stone, called ashlar, and are often easier to maintain than irregular walls. You can request advice on the specific steps to be taken when a problem is identified. Common guidance may include monitoring of natural wear, watching for signs of sudden or severe change.

If, in the course of carrying out maintenance, you need further advice, contact a Adwick le Street expert. For example, Rendit Ltd at One Acre, Thorpe In Balne, Doncaster, DN6 0DZ may be able to assist.
