About UsHome Buyers Survey in Thornbury

The estate agent stated traces of blue asbestos may be lurking boiler cupboard at the property. What are the issues with asbestos, are there any risks and what does the surveyor do?
Asbestos is a dangerous material. There are over 60 types, 6 of which were used in the UK and were commonly found in the building materials such as lagging. Its use is widespread, for example - as it has good heat resistance qualities and it may be found in insulation.
All forms are ultimately carcinogenic and can lead to lung cancer following prolonged exposure.
If discovered, one must be careful not to break it and expert advice must be taken immediately.
Surveyors do not test for asbestos during a Thornbury building survey. Surveyors will report on potential asbestos and will advise accordingly.

I am buying a stone-walled converted barn. What should we look in to?
Purchasers in Thornbury should be aware that stone walls can be much weaker than they appear. Buyers should also be aware that the potential severity of issues like cracks will vary with the particular type of stone. Irregular stone walls are not uncommon to properties in Thornbury, but dressed (cut) stone may also be used. Upkeep advice often given in a survey includes use of traditional methods to maintain older walls. Stone walls can also be problematic for buyers interested in extending or altering their new home, as matching stone may be hard or costly to source.
