Guidance snapshot
You want a contractor to come and assess the situation before you commit to any scope.
For complex situations, a site survey can be well worth arranging before requesting formal quotes. For complex drainage or structural problems, a survey is genuinely the right first step.
Good fit when
- Where you genuinely do not know what the problem is
- Large or complex areas
- Where previous work has failed unexpectedly
