Experts in our field
We provide a full range of Building Surveying services to our clients and have extensive industry connections with professionals from many disciplines, but we specialise in dilapidations…
Dilapidations
We are experts in dilapidations and can assist you with any requirement whether it is an assessment of potential liabilities, an interim claim, repairs notice or terminal claim. We have extensive experience in preparing, prosecuting and defending claims including acting as expert witness. Call or email us for more information or to discuss your requirements. We will understand your commercial objectives and tailor a solution to meet them.
Pre-lease Advisory
Our dilapidations assessments can help you to understand and quantify your obligations as an occupier before you take a new lease. If you’re a Landlord, we can advise on appropriate lease repair and reinstatement obligations to ensure your asset is adequately protected.
Design & Contract Administration
As an occupier, we can help you to achieve Lease compliance in relation to a wide range of repair and reinstatement works and as an owner, we can procure works to help you achieve a new letting while protecting your dilapidations claim.
Planned Maintenance
Our Planned Maintenance Programmes will assist you with the identification of cyclical and planned maintenance and repair works and allow you to budget and prepare for them effectively over the lifecycle of the building or your Lease term.
Schedules of Condition
We prepare detailed Condition Schedules to limit or benchmark repairing obligations for the benefit of Landlords and Tenants.

“We would highly recommend SGL for any dilapidation claim defence. SGL maintained excellent communication throughout the dispute. Their experience was apparent as they “coached” the other side’s surveyors through the process. We are really grateful for their hard work on this matter.”
