Shoreditch Building Pathology & Specific Defect Surveys FAQs
For Shoreditch (moisture and movement survey): Does the Sun Street appraisal prove that my home was a warehouse?

The Shoreditch name alone cannot supply that answer; for Shoreditch parapets, coping joints across Shoreditch and asphalt upstands are inspected (Shoreditch fee guide: from £650 plus VAT).
For Shoreditch (damp or crack diagnosis): Which conversion record should name the flat?
Ask for the plan and available completion information identifying the purchased unit, floor and entrance. Keep documents for another use or a neighbouring unit separate. A later interior refurbishment does not necessarily describe the earlier formation of the dwelling; on Shoreditch timber inspections, resistance drilling in Shoreditch checks concealed joist ends (Shoreditch fee guide: from £650 plus VAT).
For Shoreditch (specific defect report): Can a conversion brochure specify a changed loading opening?
Request the component’s alteration history and relevant drawings. Mark the opening, unit and elevation on the enquiry plan. A brochure describing the project generally should not become a specification for concealed supports at a particular opening; in Shoreditch conversions, sub-floor airbricks across Shoreditch are checked for bridging (Shoreditch fee guide: from £650 plus VAT).
For Shoreditch (pathology inspection): Should a shared-pipe repair be linked automatically to an interior mark?
