A proper loft survey can’t be done from Google Maps or a quick glance from a ladder.
Done right, it’s detailed and methodical – measuring insulation depth, checking joist strength, looking for condensation risks and identifying safety concerns. It should also explain what’s genuinely possible in your loft, not sell you things you don’t need.
If a surveyor isn’t measuring, taking photographs, drawing plans and checking safety, it’s not really a survey. It’s a guess.
