Alder Specialist Building Surveyors

Alder are specialist building surveyors, based in Inverness we work throughout the Highlands. We are specialists in external & internal building condition inspections looking for timber decay, woodworm infestation, damp problems, fabric defects, or cavity wall problems in your property using technology such as fibre optics, thermal imaging and aerial drone. What ever the problem, our objective is to: find the problems, determine why the problem exists, report on it, then offer solutions as to how to rectify the problem/s.

Damp Detection

It is up to specially trained surveyors to determine the cause and the affect of each case as the wrong diagnosis can have a detrimental outcome.

Timber Decay Detection

Timber decay is the greatest threat to any building fabric. It is absolutely vital to diagnose the type of decay accurately to enable appropriate remedial works to be carried out.

Woodworm Detection

There are many types of wood boring insects which may potentially cause damage to the structural timbers of any building provided that the right conditions and wood type are available.

Moisture Profiling & Maintenance

Moisture Profiling and continued monitoring plays a crucial part in the long term care of any building.

Cavity Wall-Tie / Void Inspections

To minimise any damage to the building fabric, we use metal detection and Fibre Optics (video and still shots).
