Abstract

Perhaps one of the least attractive aspects of making a structural survey is the roof space inspection which can be a cold, dark, and dirty activity in which the surveyor may encounter a number of dangers and surprises. One danger to guard against is professional negligence and it is imperative that the inspection is not reduced to a quick look round from the trap door access or becomes an excuse to use one's inexperienced office assistant to do the dirty work.
