WHO WE HELP
PAS Surveying provides independent professional advice for a wide range of clients who need clear, practical guidance on building damage, defects, repair works, and reinstatement matters.
Led by Phil Sciberras BSc (Hons) MRICS, PAS Surveying supports private clients, commercial clients, insurers, and property professionals who require careful assessment, sound judgement, and direct input from an experienced Chartered Building Surveyor.
WHEN PAS SURVEYING CAN HELP
PAS Surveying provides independent professional advice when buildings have been damaged, defects have become a concern, or repair works need to be properly understood and managed.
Led by Phil Sciberras BSc (Hons) MRICS, PAS Surveying helps clients who need clear, practical guidance in difficult circumstances, particularly where the cause of a problem is uncertain, the extent of damage is not yet fully understood, or reassurance is needed before decisions are made about repair works.
Whether the issue relates to insured damage, structural concerns, dampness, decay, or defects affecting an older property, PAS Surveying offers a personalised and professional approach based on careful assessment, sound judgement, and long experience in building surveying and reinstatement matters.
FIRE, FLOOD, AND ESCAPE OF WATER DAMAGE
Serious property damage caused by fire, flood, or escape of water can be disruptive, stressful, and difficult to deal with. In these situations, it is important to understand not only the visible damage, but also the wider effect on the building and the scope of the repairs that may be needed.
PAS Surveying can provide independent advice on the nature and extent of the damage, the likely repair implications, and the most appropriate way to move forward. This may include technical assessment, repair specification, cost-related guidance, and professional oversight through the reinstatement process.
IMPACT DAMAGE AND STRUCTURAL CONCERNS
Where a building has been affected by impact damage or there are concerns about structural movement, cracking, or possible instability, careful professional input is often required to understand what has happened and what action may be necessary.
PAS Surveying can help assess visible signs of damage, consider the likely cause and significance of the issue, and provide practical advice on the next steps. Clear professional guidance at an early stage can help avoid uncertainty and ensure that repair decisions are made on a properly informed basis.
SUBSIDENCE, MOVEMENT, AND CRACKING
Cracking and movement in buildings can cause understandable concern, particularly where the pattern or cause is not immediately obvious. In some cases the issue may be relatively limited, while in others it may indicate more significant movement or subsidence that requires closer assessment.
PAS Surveying provides careful and independent advice on cracking, movement, and related structural concerns, helping clients understand the likely cause, the implications for the building, and the most appropriate approach to repair or further action.
DAMPNESS, WATER INGRESS, AND MOISTURE-RELATED PROBLEMS
Dampness and moisture-related issues are among the most commonly misunderstood building problems. Symptoms such as staining, mould, peeling finishes, or persistent damp patches may have a number of possible causes, and incorrect assumptions can easily lead to unsuitable or ineffective repair work.
PAS Surveying provides reasoned defect diagnosis to help identify the likely source of dampness, water ingress, condensation, or related moisture problems, together with clear advice on what should be done next.
TIMBER DECAY AND RELATED DEFECTS
Timber decay can be a serious issue, particularly where moisture problems have been present for some time or where hidden parts of the building have been affected. It is important to understand the nature of the decay, the conditions that have allowed it to develop, and the extent of any associated repair needs.
PAS Surveying can assist with the assessment of timber-related defects and provide practical professional advice to help ensure that any remedial work is based on a proper understanding of the problem.
BUILDING DEFECTS IN OLDER AND TRADITIONAL PROPERTIES
Older properties often require a more careful and informed approach than modern buildings. Problems such as dampness, cracking, timber decay, or movement can easily be misunderstood if the age, construction, and behaviour of the building are not properly taken into account.
PAS Surveying provides clear and practical advice on building defects affecting older and traditional properties, helping clients understand what may be happening and how repairs should be approached in a way that is suitable for the character and construction of the building.
WHEN REPAIR WORKS NEED TO BE UNDERSTOOD OR MANAGED PROPERLY
In some situations, the main concern is not simply identifying the problem, but understanding the scope of the repair works, whether proposed costs appear reasonable, and how the reinstatement or remedial works should be managed.
PAS Surveying can provide independent guidance on repair scope, specifications, cost-related matters, and practical next steps, helping clients make decisions with greater confidence and clarity.
IF THIS HAS HAPPENED TO YOU, DO NOT WORRY
Building damage and defects can be worrying, particularly where the cause is uncertain, the repair implications are significant, or different opinions are being given about what should be done.
PAS Surveying provides a personalised approach that ensures each matter is considered carefully and professionally, with advice tailored to the building, the circumstances, and the specific problem that has arisen.
Rather than offering generic recommendations, PAS Surveying takes the time to understand the issue properly, identify the likely cause where possible, explain the implications in clear terms, and provide practical guidance on the most appropriate way forward.
Whether you are dealing with fire damage, flood damage, escape of water, impact damage, subsidence, dampness, cracking, timber decay, or building defects in an older property, the aim is always to provide reassurance, clarity, and independent professional support from the outset.
