How a compartmentation survey is priced

We price from three things. The number of cores, the number of storeys and the number of separate compartment areas.

The number of flats does not drive it. A surveyor spends the day in the stairs, risers, cupboards and roof void, and 40 flats on one stair take about as long to look at as 20 on the same stair.

A taller building takes more care and more time, so storeys count. Opening up walls is extra, and we agree it before we start.

To get a price, send the building type, the storeys, the number of stairs and any plan you have. We reply with a price for the survey and the report. The price for repairs comes later and is a separate job.
