Substantial Edwardian and Victorian villas in Blundellsands, dense terraces through the L22 town centre, and a coastal seafront with mature trees.

What's specific to cctv survey in Crosby
Postcodes covered: L22, L23 · typical response 50–60 mins
Pre-purchase context: in Crosby the issues that most often show on CCTV are root ingress at salt-glazed joints, fat build-up and the occasional pitch fibre deformation — we flag and code each one to MSCC5 so the report has weight with conveyancers.
Sonde tracing: Familiar with the L23 conservation-area constraints on heritage repairs — useful when we need to physically locate an unmapped run for an extension or build-over.
Insurance work: reports include the WRc defect log, plan diagram and full video file as standard, not as a paid add-on.
