Recent Activity in Dartford

The introduction of drones as part of a surveyor’s kit has allowed us to make reports more complete and reduce the risk for homebuyers. There are often elements of a property that cannot be seen from ground level, even with the use of binoculars. We would previously have had to exclude such areas from the report, but with the use of a relatively inexpensive drone we can present a more complete picture to the client.

This was highlighted recently when our surveyor James Merewether completed a Level 2 (Homebuyer) Report on a 2-storey semi-detached house located to the south of Dartford Town. The homeowner had removed the chimney breasts from within the property, but retained the stack. However, the openings at the top of the stack had not been covered over to prevent water ingress. During heavy rain, water would enter the roof space, putting the interior timbers and fittings at risk. James was able to take photos of the top of the stack and include them in the report so that our client was fully informed.

The client was very happy with the report, commenting that James is a ‘very good surveyor’ and he would be happy to recommend our services.

The Level 2 (Homebuyer) Report is designed to provide buyers with concise information about the condition of a property. This is achieved by giving elements a Condition Rating based on the traffic light system and summarising them at the front of the report.

About Dartford

Dartford is a historic and evolving town in north-west Kent, sitting on the south bank of the River Thames around 18 miles east of central London. The postcodes DA1, DA2, DA3 and DA4 encompass the town centre and surrounding neighbourhoods, including Wilmington, Bean, Darenth and parts of Longfield, offering a blend of urban living, residential suburbs and accessible countryside. Dartford has roots as a Roman settlement and later a medieval market town, growing through industrial eras before becoming a key commuter hub for Greater London.

The town centre provides a range of shopping, dining and community amenities, while attractions such as Central Park and Darenth Country Park offer green space and leisure opportunities close to home. Cultural venues like The Orchard Theatre and The Mick Jagger Centre — a performing arts venue named for the Rolling Stones singer who was born in Dartford — reflect the area’s creative community and lively arts scene.

Transport links are strong, with regular rail services into London and connections across Kent, and the nearby Dartford Crossing providing an important road link over the Thames. Dartford’s mix of history, culture and connectivity makes it a distinctive town with appeal for residents and visitors alike.

We appointed Peter Barry to commission a Specific Defect Report which they did quickly and efficiently. They were a pleasure to work with, both over email and in person on the day of the job itself.
We had a very pleasant experience with Matthew and Trina, who guided us with great patience and professionalism while dealing with very difficult neighbours. Their clear explanations, and calm approach made the whole party wall process much less stressful. We’re very grateful for their support and would recommend their services.
