Book a cellar discovery survey in Moortown

What the visit records (Moortown stock)

• Moisture mapping — floor, hatch reveal, party-wall joint, chimney breast if there is one. Shop cellars after a Street Lane downpour are mapped differently from a slowly seeping through-semi utility.
• Access — pavement hatch, shop stair, flat stair, cupboard stair, rear ginnel. We measure what will actually fit.
• Party wall — whose brick, whether the neighbour’s cellar is open or blocked, whether a notice under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 is likely before anyone chases the wall.
• Drain invert — gully in the ginnel, combined drain under the scullery, existing shop discharge to Street Lane. No assumed rear lawn.
• Sump location — one-room footprint, under-stair void, not in the only dry patch the tenant still uses.
• Existing tanking — overlay or strip. cellar tanking when the shop already has slurry
• Hours and parking — can the shop lose the cellar in the day; is the side street permit-only; would a later tanker need a bay suspension.
• Leeds Building Control — same district as Alwoodley; we note enough for an application, not a Bradford form.

We are not photographing Alwoodley gardens. If the address is King Lane / The Avenue / Alwoodley Park, that is a different site.

Practicalities for this cell

• Parking — on-street. Many bays off Street Lane are permit or limited waiting. We do not assume a drive.
• Time — enough to get into the cellar, lift hatch boards, and look at the invert, not a five-minute damp “survey”.
• Shop — tell us trading hours. A Moortown Corner unit may only be visitable before open or after close.
• Neighbour — for a through-semi, you do not need them present on this first visit. You may need them in the loop before works.
• No public office — we come to the property. There is no walk-in unit on Street Lane or at Moortown Corner.

After the survey

You get a written note of what the room is, whether Type C is honest, what would move cost, and whether we would decline a cheap patch. Conversion wishes are recorded so a later membrane is not ripped out — they do not turn this visit into a conversion quote.
