An independent surveyor will give you their best advice on the causes of any issues found at your property and the right way to remedy them. They do not earn commissions for recommending work and are keen to give you the best advice to help you solve any issues.

The short answer is do not book a free survey, you may not get independent advice. This is because it is generally only surveyors who work for damp companies that provide free or significantly cheaper surveys, then provide a quote for work they recommend. If the same surveyor conducts the survey, recommends the work and quotes for the work there might be a conflict that stops you getting unbiased, independent advice.
