Oakwood Building Solutions Ltd

Oakwood Building Solutions Ltd specialises in providing essential intrusive survey services to professional surveyors and engineers. They assist in gaining evidence of building defects, verifying proper construction, and ensuring compliance with building regulations. Their expertise includes type 4 internal inspections, which involve the cutting and reinstatement of materials, as well as external wall surveys to establish wall build-up and expose firebreaks.

These external surveys are conducted using scaffolding or cherry pickers. For more detailed internal assessments, Oakwood offers endoscopic surveys, where a small hole is drilled to insert a camera for precise visual inspection of material build-up, particularly useful for fire engineers. They pride themselves on causing minimal damage and ensuring a good finish upon completion.

The company highlights its "over a decade" of experience, highly skilled tradesmen holding valid CSCS cards, and a strong commitment to health and safety, including pre-site surveys and RAMS provision. Their services are crucial in the current climate, especially following events like the Grenfell disaster, where external wall surveys (ESW1) have become essential for building safety standards. Oakwood ensures that all work is carried out by fully licensed operators using appropriate equipment, with a focus on reinstating materials seamlessly after the survey.
