1. Send the report
Email your RICS Level 2/3, homebuyer, condition or defect report. Any surveyor, any format.
How It Works
From report to priced works in four steps
2. We map the items
Our team reviews every numbered finding and builds a works schedule directly against the report’s sections.
3. Itemised fixed price
You receive a line-by-line proposal — repair items priced individually, so you can compare, trim or phase.
4. Site visit & one contract
An optional site visit confirms scope, then one contract covers the repairs and any renovation you want done at the same time.
Why Combine
Fix it while the floors are up
Survey repairs and renovation share the same scaffolding, the same opened-up floors and the same trades. Pricing them together is almost always cheaper than sequencing them apart — and the survey’s priced findings give you evidence for purchase renegotiation before you commit.
Typical report items we price
- Roof, flashing and rainwater repairs
- Damp investigation outcomes and remedial works
- Timber, decay and subfloor ventilation items
- Electrical, heating and services upgrades flagged for investigation
- External joinery, render and pointing
- Structural items after engineer’s confirmation
Need the survey first?
Hampstead Chartered Surveyors & Building Consultancy and Hampstead Renovations are separate sister companies operating from the same Hampstead studio. Surveying advice is provided independently; you are always free to obtain quotations from any contractor, and we tell you when our conflict rules prevent the companies working on the same project.
Translate survey findings into an accountable works list
Keep the original survey finding alongside the proposed response. This helps separate an identified defect from a recommendation for further investigation and from an optional improvement you want to make.
Trace each item
Record the report reference, location, finding and recommended next step. Preserve the surveyor's qualifications and limitations rather than turning every observation into a fixed work item.
Resolve unknowns before pricing
Assign investigations and design questions to the appropriate adviser. Record access requirements, dependencies and whether a contractor's allowance remains provisional.
Check the completed response
Agree what demonstrates that each specified repair is complete, who will inspect it and which documents or photographs are needed. Keep remaining issues visible at handover.

FAQs
Renovating After a Survey FAQs
How quickly will I get a quotation?
Most itemised proposals are returned within a few working days of receiving the report. Complex reports on large properties can take longer — we confirm the exact turnaround when we acknowledge your documents.
Is the quotation itemised against the report's sections?
Yes. Each priced line references the report’s numbered finding, so you can compare quotations like for like, trim items, or phase the works over time.
Can I use the quotation to renegotiate the purchase price?
Many buyers do. An itemised contractor quotation against the survey’s findings is concrete price evidence in a renegotiation, and the proposal is yours to use whether or not you proceed with us.
Can repairs be combined with refurbishment in one project?
Yes — that is the point of the service. Repairs and renovation share access, opened-up floors and trades, so one combined contract is usually cheaper and less disruptive than two sequenced projects.
Does it matter which surveyor produced the report?
No. We price against reports from any RICS surveyor or surveying firm. Where you don’t yet have a survey, our sister company Hampstead Chartered Surveyors can advise — independently of us, and disclosed as such.
