We have worked in the property arena for 30 years and if we do not have the definitive solution to your problem or question we will research the matter for you. The Party Wall Act sets down the rights & duties of owners undertaking such works and provides protection to the Adjoining Owners. The Party Wall Surveyor's duty is to examine the proposed works, ensure that they are properly designed and are executed in a manner which is not likely to cause damage to adjoining buildings or property.
In the unlikely event damage does occur, the party wall surveyors can award damages so the adjoining owners property is protected. The Party wall Act also grants rights of access to both party wall surveyors and to building owners, allowing surveyors to make all required inspections and allowing building owners and their builders rights of access, erecting of scaffolding etc on the adjoining owners' land.
Inspect your roof during wet and windy weather to decide if a damp ceiling patch is due to roof leakage and/or condensation.

Only Chartered Building Surveyors as opposed to other types of Chartered Surveyors are considered competent to undertake structural surveys or structural reports associated with buildings.
It is normal that a site inspection to review such defects will take between 1 and 2 hours on site, and normally would not involve any destructive or intrusive investigations unless these are required to be undertaken to provide sufficient information or knowledge to conclude the issue.
A report, either as a letter or more detailed report will be provided to the Client which should address the issues for which the structural inspection has been undertaken.
