My surveyor did not check the roof loft stating that he doesn’t feel it’s safe and they apparently did not no come with ladder. Now he wants me to hire a ladder and pay the surveyor to return. What do you advise??
Not what happens - Very interesting but in the real world surveyors in the corporate sector must complete the equivalent of two home buyers reports daily and cannot therefore adopt the slow methodical approach you demonstrate - how long do you inspections take in total? On a practical level you should have mentioned that high meter readings are always obtained from masonry chimney stacks - because they are full of salts - and perhaps also damp in cases where external detailing/maintenance is unsatisfactory. Very idealistic. Would have been very interesting to see how you reported your findings!!!
Good presentation Phil, I have always liked your explanations - plain and straightforward.

A disgrace as they must carry a 3m ladder. Raise this matter with the RICS - its not too late.
how do you deal with the health hazard of mice, molds and asbestos? assume you have no information of the loft/roof conditions before hand.
Personal protective equipment (PPE)

Very informative and useful from prior preventive measures before location access to HOW to inspect and register.
