At Brian Gale Chartered Building Surveyors, we offer clients specific, specialist advice about historic buildings and period property features. As a historic or listed property requires special care and attention, an expert surveyor with experience in assessing historic buildings will be able to provide the relevant advice on maintaining and preserving the beauty of your property.
For many years, we have worked with listed and non-listed properties built throughout the centuries. Our team understands timber frames, sash windows, thatched roofs, stone roofs and more. Our expertise allows us to provide professional recommendations about maintenance and remedial sympathetic to a property’s original design and in accordance to Listed Building Legislation.
Whether you are preparing to purchase a historic property or already own a period building in the UK, we can help you to fully understand its construction. This can assist you in making an informed decision about the current defects and future maintenance requirements of the property, especially in preparing budgets and upkeep plans.

The property had evidence of deterioration in the batons, and we advised that it would need to be corrected and re-secured by a master thatcher. With our support, the client was provided quotes allowing them to make an informed decision about their property purchase.
