Overview

Chartered surveyors and building consultants serving the London Borough of Southwark

Southwark's building stock spans from the major commercial and cultural developments along the South Bank to dense Victorian terracing in Camberwell and Peckham, significant social housing estates, and heritage buildings around Borough Market and Bermondsey. The borough has undergone substantial regeneration, creating complex building surveying and fire safety requirements across old and new construction alike.

We advise residential and commercial clients across Southwark on building condition, fire safety, cladding assessment, project management and maintenance planning. From Victorian terraces in Dulwich to high-rise blocks in Elephant and Castle, our RICS regulated team delivers clear, independent technical advice.

Building Stock

Property types across the London Borough of Southwark

  • Victorian terraces across Camberwell, Peckham and Dulwich, typically solid-wall construction with slate roofs, timber floors and rear additions.
  • Social housing estates in Elephant & Castle, Bermondsey and Walworth, including system-built towers and deck-access blocks.
  • Commercial developments along the South Bank and London Bridge, incorporating offices, cultural venues and mixed-use buildings.
  • Heritage buildings around Borough, Bermondsey and the South Bank, including listed warehouses, churches and market buildings.
  • Modern regeneration developments at Canada Water and Elephant Park, with new-build residential towers and mixed-use schemes.
Common Issues

Defects and challenges typical of Southwark's built environment

  • Fire safety and cladding concerns on high-rise social housing blocks requiring assessment under PAS 9980 and the Building Safety Act.
  • Structural defects in Victorian terraces including movement, subsidence and failed rear additions on London Clay.
  • Damp and water ingress in older solid-wall housing with inadequate ventilation and defective rainwater goods.
  • Facade deterioration on commercial buildings along the South Bank and London Bridge requiring investigation and repair.
  • Planned maintenance backlogs on council housing stock requiring prioritisation, cost planning and phased delivery.
