• roof coverings, drainage systems, and roof voids
• external walls, cladding systems, and façade condition
• internal finishes and hygiene-critical surfaces
• doors, loading bays, and operational interfaces
• evidence of water ingress, corrosion, or structural stress

Each assessment produces a detailed report. It outlines observed defects, condition ratings, and prioritised recommendations for repair or remediation. As a result, this structured approach supports asset management planning and helps reduce the risk of unplanned disruption.

Our work is informed by relevant RICS building surveying standards and guidance, together with applicable statutory considerations. Where relevant to the property and proposed works, this may include the Building Regulations 2010 in England and duties under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974.

We carry out many surveys within operational facilities where production, logistics, or storage activities must continue uninterrupted. Our teams work safely within live environments, coordinating inspections carefully to minimise disruption while still delivering a thorough technical assessment.

For operators responsible for industrial buildings, cold storage facilities, or food production environments, a building condition survey provides the information needed to manage defects, plan maintenance, and support future investment decisions. Ambrey Baker’s technical experience helps clients identify potential problems early and respond with practical, proportionate solutions.
