Smith Heritage Surveyors provide specialist building surveys throughout Surrey, with a particular focus on heritage homes, listed buildings, and period properties. While we inspect buildings of all ages and styles, our expertise lies in historic buildings located within areas of sustained development pressure.
We work across Surrey, including Guildford, Farnham, Dorking, Reigate, Weybridge, and surrounding towns and villages.
Historic Buildings Within a Highly Developed County
Surrey’s historic housing stock exists alongside extensive modern development. Many period properties have been altered, extended, or subdivided over time to meet changing demands.
Our surveys take account of how cumulative change affects traditional buildings and their performance.
Surveying Period Properties Under Modern Pressure
We regularly survey a wide range of historic property types, including:
- Listed buildings (Grade I, II*, and II)
- Period houses and cottages
- Former estate and village properties
- Buildings with multiple extensions or conversions
- Older properties of non-standard construction
Assessing how original construction interacts with later work is often a key part of our inspection.
Alterations, Extensions, and Material Compatibility
We offer a comprehensive range of surveying services, including:
- RICS Level 3 Building Surveys
- RICS Level 2 HomeBuyer Surveys
- Listed building surveys
- Damp surveys
- Timber surveys
- Condition and maintenance surveys
- Defect diagnosis and conservation advice
In urban settings, shared structures and boundary considerations may also form part of the inspection.
Each survey is tailored to the property’s age, condition, and alteration history.
