What a survey can and cannot show
A visual survey records marks, materials and visible defects. It cannot prove a frame's rating without evidence, so we flag unknowns clearly rather than guessing.
Prioritised output
Defects are graded so you can fix urgent items first and plan the rest.
Fire risk assessments
Surveys often follow a fire risk assessment action. We address the specific items raised.
