Overview

Chartered surveyors and building consultants serving the London Borough of Lambeth

Lambeth stretches from the South Bank and Waterloo to the suburban streets of Streatham and West Norwood, encompassing a wide variety of building types including Victorian terraces across Brixton and Clapham, social housing estates, commercial property around Vauxhall, and heritage buildings throughout. The borough's property requires surveying expertise that spans residential, commercial and public sector building challenges.

We advise property owners, housing associations, schools and public bodies across Lambeth on building condition, fire safety, planned maintenance and project delivery. Our RICS regulated team provides practical, independent advice tailored to the specific building types and client needs found across the borough.

  • Cladding concerns on residential towers requiring assessment under PAS 9980 and the Building Safety Act.
  • Subsidence on London Clay affecting Victorian properties with shallow foundations, particularly in areas with mature trees.
