How it Works
Our comprehensive survey process ensures you receive tailored guidance and detailed assessment, starting with an initial consultation and culminating in a thorough on-site evaluation and follow-up.
Free Introductory Call
The first step in commissioning a survey is brief phone call where we discuss whether a survey will be useful to you.
Phone Consultation
Schedule a £20, no obligation 1-hour consultation. Please provide property images and documents before the call.
On-Site Building Survey
If a survey is required, we will then set a time budget and schedule a visit, normally within two weeks of the call.
Follow-Up Call
Once you have received and read our building report, we will schedule an hour’s call to go through it together.

Customer Reviews
"Super Helpful"
Page from Muddy Mortars was super helpful to us in our house buying process. He saved us from a house we loved, but sadly was a potential money pit with an incredibly thorough, detailed and easy to understand survey and report. He acted fast, kept in touch and was great to work with.

"Thorough and Insightful"
Page from Muddy Mortars provided a thorough and insightful and detailed survey on a cottage dated c1850. We would highly recommend anyone not familiar with Cornwall or the building techniques used in old traditionally built property to seek his specialist advice.
Malcolm Cotton

"Worthwhile Investment"
No hesitation in recommending. Page is a great communicator and has provided a thorough understanding of the multiple factors affecting damp in older properties as well as guidance on how to prioritise works in a practical and realistic way. A very worthwhile investment.

"Clear and Impartial"
Page undertook a detailed survey of our house (inside and out) and provided us with a detailed and clear report, with impartial advice on which issues to prioritise. Page highlighted things that our RICS homebuyer report didn't, very helpful and absolutely worth it. Thank you!
Heather Coutts
"Cornish Stone Cottage"
Page was so helpful with our investigations into renovations that would be required for an old Cornish stone cottage. He provided advice and a professional report of works offering the level of detail in the areas we requested, including a list of associated costs. Would definitely use again.

"Listed Building Report"
A very detailed report was conducted of our listed building, with orders of maintenance priorities given in a clear an concise manner. It’s often a struggle to know where to start with old properties, but this was such a big help - to have something to refer back to and tick off.

"Clear Explanations"
We had an extremely useful consultation with Page. He explained why we have problems with damp in our cottage and how to rectify it. He gave very thorough and clear explanations and did not try to sell us his services when he thought it unnecessary. Very impressed.

Muddy Mortars are a fountain of knowledge regarding the construction and remedial works of old buildings. They have proven to be a reliable consultant and we are now in receipt of a thorough and useful report for the restoration of our listed farmhouse. Thank you!

"Efficient and Professional"
Page arrived promptly, spent two hours on site discussing possible causes of damp in my traditional granite property and various options to solve the problem. Later he sent me a detailed report including cost estimates. I found him efficient, professional and knowledgeable.
