Commercial building surveys across Somerset

Commercial property decisions carry real financial weight. In Somerset, where building stock ranges from Bath's Georgian offices and Taunton's mixed town centre premises to industrial units in Bridgwater and older rural buildings in Yeovil and Frome, the condition of a property is rarely straightforward. A professional building survey gives you the facts you need before they become problems you did not anticipate.

Our RICS-registered surveyors work with property owners, investors, occupiers, lenders, and insolvency practitioners across Somerset, supported by our national network and 180 years of experience in commercial property.

Dilapidations are the repair and reinstatement obligations that arise under a commercial lease. Whether you are a landlord preparing a schedule of dilapidations or a tenant seeking to understand your liability at lease end, we assess the position clearly and negotiate on your behalf where required.

Schedule of condition

A schedule of condition records the precise state of a property at a specific point in time, most commonly at the start of a lease. The document limits a tenant's repair liability to no worse than the condition recorded, providing important protection throughout the lease term.

Dilapidations Pre Assessment

What property types can I book a commercial building survey for in Somerset?

Our surveyors cover the full range of commercial stock across Somerset:

Offices

Somerset's office stock ranges from Bath's listed buildings to modern business park premises around Taunton. Older buildings carry hidden risks, including structural movement, outdated services, and compliance gaps. Whether you are acquiring, renegotiating a lease, or assessing condition mid-term, we give you the full picture.

Retail units

Retail premises across Somerset vary widely in age and condition. Damp, structural defects, and fire compartmentation failures are common in older stock. A schedule of condition or dilapidations assessment protects your position at any stage of a lease.

Industrial and logistics buildings

Cladding failure, inadequate floor loadings, and deteriorating roof structures are the issues we most commonly identify across Somerset's industrial and logistics stock. Knowing about them before you commit, or before a lease ends, saves time, money, and disputes.

Investment portfolios

Undetected defects across an investment portfolio surface at the worst moments, such as refinancing, disposal, or lease renewal. Consistent survey coverage across every asset is the straightforward way to avoid that.
