Condition surveys and trials

(services)

DBR provides technical and craft expertise to carry out targeted material and workmanship trials including historic fabric visual and intrusive inspections, comprehensive building condition surveys including Ground Penetrating Radar, Thermography and embedded metal detection, along with cleaning and repair trials. From these surveys DBR will provide Condition Reports and Treatment Proposals to help support informed conservation decisions, Listed Building Applications, specification production, cost planning and successful project delivery.

DBR carries out drone surveys of historic roofs and façades using CAA-approved pilots who are also trained stone and roofing technicians, allowing close inspection of inaccessible areas while minimising the need for intrusive access. Surveys are supported by high-resolution photography, condition mapping, defect analysis and comprehensive reporting to assist clients, consultants and heritage stakeholders in developing appropriate conservation strategies.
