It's always fascinating to see your work 👍🏽 keep the videos coming✅

[@adamhanson6685]

I really appreciate the videos you are making. They always appear very authentic and engaging. Im also embarking on a career change studying for an MSc in Building Surveying and these have been a great contrast to all the screen time! Many thanks

[@westonesurveyors8139]

Thank you.

another great vid really interesting .i can imagine building work in london is really expensive .but the work looks really good

[@MuckyD.]

Coffee in Chelsea that half the budget! Great video as always.

Condense water from a boiler is acidic, that will eat away at the lead on that roof and cause an expensive repair

In light of your comments at the start of the video regarding the positive comments I thought I would share mine. Have recently took the first step in making a career jump to Building surveying, I was going backwards and forwards for a while and your videos were one of the materials which made me decide to do so. I'm now studying a distance learning MSc and being able to experience the days in the life are incredibly valuable to people like me, as are the 'shadowing' around a survey. Please do keep the videos coming and thank you for everything you've put out this far!

[@westonesurveyors8139]

Thank you for your kind comments. Good luck with your studies.

Hi the 3D scan of the building is interesting. Is there a particular software for this ?

[@westonesurveyors8139]

@@Financebroz1 there is. Matterport.

A question regarding roofing if I may. If a roof is in good condition does the age of the tiles matter? For example would a well maintained roof with concrete tiles be flagged on a survey if the property is 30 years old as the tiles have a limited lifespan? Thank you

[@westonesurveyors8139]

Not necessarily. If the tiles are in good condition and the roof is not leaking, it is performing its function as a roof. The surveyor may advise of age related issues and if failure is expected.

@@westonesurveyors8139 thank you for replying that is very helpful

Whatever they pay the painters isn't enough, wouldn't get in that cradle for a bag a day.

[@Dampcureservices]

Not concrete 😢 Whenever I come across concrete I skip it

[@XHXHX]

Which degree do you need to learn all of this ?

[@westonesurveyors8139]

@@XHXHX hi and thank you for the comment. Chartered Building Surveyors will have a degree, most likely in building surveying, if no, needs to be an RICS accredited degree and then experience, as the degree only gives you a start.
