Plumbing
Home Buyers Survey for plumbing and heating.
Know exactly what you are buying. We inspect the whole plumbing and heating system and give you a detailed report with a costed schedule of any works needed.
Buying a home?
One survey, one clear picture.
Buying a new home is stressful enough without paying out for surveys that never quite tell you what you need to know. Most general surveys stop short of the detail on plumbing and heating, which is often where the biggest costs sit.
Our engineers inspect the system properly and give you a detailed report, including a costing schedule for any works needed. It is practical information you can use to plan, budget or negotiate.
What is included
Features of our Home Buyers Survey.
Gas and oil appliances
We check the operation of all gas and oil appliances in the property, so you know what condition they are really in.
Heating and hot water controls
All associated heating and hot water controls are tested, including programmers, thermostats and zone valves.
Radiators, valves and pipework
Radiators, valves and exposed pipework are inspected for leaks, corrosion and signs of a tired system.
Cylinder and tanks
We assess the condition of the hot water cylinder and any storage or expansion tanks in the loft or airing cupboard.
Taps, toilets and stopcock
Correct operation of all taps, toilet siphons and float valves, plus the stopcock, is checked and recorded.
Drains and insulation
We confirm drains run correctly (CCTV survey not included) and review pipe insulation and energy efficiency compliance.
Appliance checks do not include AGAs. Maximum of three appliances. Drain checks do not include a CCTV survey.

Home Buyers Survey FAQs
How is this different to a standard home buyers survey?
A general surveyor will usually note that the heating and plumbing should be checked by a specialist. We are that specialist. Our report focuses purely on the plumbing and heating system and puts real costs against anything that needs doing.
Are all appliances included?
We check the operation of all gas and oil appliances, up to a maximum of three appliances. AGAs are not included.
Do you check the drains?
We confirm the drains run correctly. A CCTV drainage survey is not included, but we can point you towards one if we spot a concern.
How soon can you attend?
Call our in-house team and we will usually find a slot within a few days, so your report is with you in good time for your negotiation.
What happens after the survey?
You get a written report with a costed schedule of works. If you decide to go ahead with any of it once you move in, the same team can carry out the work.
