Get peace of mind

A thorough, independent building inspection from RBT gives you the confidence to move forward — or the clarity to walk away.

We carry out a non-invasive check of the property, including the exterior, interior, subfloor & roof spaces, site and drainage.

After the inspection you’ll receive a clear, written report with photos, explaining any issues we find, how urgent they are, and what they could cost to fix, so you can negotiate confidently and buy with your eyes open.

They said it, not us

We could not have been happier with what RB Thomas Ltd were able to achieve with our new preschool playground in Leamington. No problem was too big for this team, the workmanship was first class, the project was completed on time and within budget.
