Flintshire offers a blend of historic cottages, post-war housing and newer developments, each benefiting from a tailored inspection.
Extensions, loft conversions and energy upgrades are common throughout Flintshire; we assess how these changes interact with structure, services and ventilation so everything works together.
Clients instructing us in Flintshire want independent reporting, clear priorities and realistic budgets before they commit to a purchase or refurbishment.
