Lynwoods Building Consultancy

Lynwoods has recently completed a suite of pre-acquisition building surveys- ranging from large industrial premises to 1-bedroom flats. We provide surveys on commercial, industrial and domestic properties-including most nonstandard construction forms.

Following on from a busy 2018, Lynwoods has been engaged to provide advice and opinion on a number of new, complex insurance matters, including; subsidence, fires and vehicle impacts. Our expert advice can help insurers and loss adjusters to understand their exposure and to formulate the best possible exit strategies.

Lynwoods has been engaged to project-manage the conversion of an old workshop into 11no. self-contained student apartments. Work commenced in December 2018 and is progressing well. Regular updates to follow.

We've recently been project managing an upgrade on lake drainage at a holiday park in Wales. We're reinstating a new drainage system to prevent any flood damage in the future, here are a few pics showing the new pipe being installed.

For most people, buying a home will be one of the biggest financial decisions they will ever need to make, with this in mind a quality and detailed survey is an essential investment! There will always be a cheaper quote for a survey but ask what this cheaper price will exclude or gloss over. If you would like to enquire what our survey package includes contact us on 07913238176 or send us a DM and we can advise further.

Here are some before and after pics of a fire reinstatement job we have been project managing. We've had the opportunity to work with some local professionals in the Chorley area who have been brilliant throughout the whole process! As you can see the level of finish is of a quality standard throughout. Thank you to Danny and the team at DAC Building Services for your knowledge and attention to detail, our client is delighted with her new kitchen!

We received quite a bit of feedback from our first knotweed video. Here's Chris with some solutions on how you can rid this aggressive weed from your garden and home space. If you have any further questions feel free to leave a comment or direct message us for any further advice and/or assistance.

With summer time rapidly approaching the growth of Japanese Knotweed is on the rise. One of the UK's most invasive plants, the aggressive weed can cause a number of issues when trying to buy or sell your home. If you find any Japanese Knotweed feel free to give us a call and we'll give you the best possible advice on what to do moving forward.

We're on site today supervising the foundation dig for a new double garage project. Taking extra care not to hit the drains. Once the foundations are in, the only way is up!

This week in Lynwoods: Chris climbing ladders and crawling into tight spaces to give you the low-down on roof surveys. Check out our first in the Lynwoods video blog series ...

Handing over a garage conversion this evening. We're off to meet our client at the property with a gift and our best wishes for the future!

Lynwoods has been instructed to project manage the reinstatement of a fire damaged property in Crewe. On fire damaged properties it's often the fire brigade's hose that does the most damage... as the mouldy couch demonstrates! Several other defect surveys under the belt this week, with more subsidence issues to look at and a structural survey to carry out before the weekend.

It's been an interesting week for Lynwoods! We've been out investigating various building defects and carrying out structural surveys. Here's a video montage of some shots we've taken this week! Enjoy...

Thank you to Mr Cousineau for appointing Lynwoods to prepare and submit his listed building application. As a gesture we've donated £100 to the Swan Women's Centre. If anyone else would like to donate just click the link below... https://localgiving.org/charity/swan-wome n-centre/

We've been out and about this week at Lynwoods! At the beginning of the week we visited Shadsworth business park to complete a schedule of condition on one of their major industrial units, followed by a trip to Snowdonia to investigate flood damage at a local caravan park... office day today to prepare the reports.

Busy weekend for Lynwoods! First stop Bacup in Lancashire to investigate vehicle damage to a property, back down to Lydiate to oversee garden clearance ready for a new garage construction, and finally on to Gateacre to survey some structural cracking. Reports filed in time to visit the mothers!

Exciting times ahead for Expect Excellence who are refurbishing their latest property acquisition! Lynwoods has been appointed as lead consultant in transforming the office space as part of the company's expansion plans. We popped over today for a design meeting with the team... now time to finalise the plans!

Today is the official 2018 International Women's Day! We wanted to recognise some of the inspiring work of our chosen charity; The Swan Womens Centre, based in Liverpool.
