Who We Are
My Name is Peter Tallis. I have over twenty five years, post degree, experience as a building surveyor and years of experience in the building industry prior to this. During that time I have inspected just about every type of building you can imagine.
These are some of the reasons to choose us for your survey.

The Challenge of Traditional West Wales Construction
Buying an older property in Pembrokeshire, Ceredigion, or Carmarthenshire is a different prospect than buying a modern home. Many of our local buildings were constructed using "breathable" materials designed to manage the damp Welsh climate—not block it out. When these traditional permeable structures are modernised with modern non-permeable materials, this often leads to issues.
Preserve the Past, Protect Your Future
A standard valuation won't tell you if a 200-year-old cottage has been "sealed" with the wrong materials. Our Level 3 Building Surveys provide a deep dive into the heritage fabric of your property, ensuring you understand the maintenance it needs to remain a sound investment for another century.
