Home and Building Inspections Christchurch

We call it Character Home Check because that’s who we are, but wait…we inspect homes of all ages and right across Canterbury. With over 25 years experience renovating and inspecting homes, we are the people you want to use when getting a building inspection. Our in-depth understanding of current building practice and traditional methods allows us to provide a realistic and positive assessment of yours!

Property Pre-Purchase Inspections

As leading building inspectors in the Christchurch area, we will fully inspect all parts of the house you are thinking of buying. This includes the foundations, roof, and everything between. We check both inside and outside and observe all plumbing and electrics. We also assess water tightness, can test for moisture, underfloor and levels in accordance with NZS 4306:2005, and we’ll provide you with a report that meets your requirements.

Floor Level Assessment in Christchurch

One of the specialist Christchurch property inspections that we offer is floor level assessments. We have the technology and skills to check if house piles have sunk into the ground or other damage has resulted in your floors no longer being level.


Once we have completed our inspection service, we’ll provide you with a full report that will clearly show you how each part of your floor differs. You will then have a full understanding of the extent of the problem so you can plan and budget for repairs.

Robotic Underfloor Inspection Services in Christchurch

We provide a subfloor robotic camera service, which typically allows our specialist operator to assess and photograph in very confirmed spaces. The information this technology provides, coupled with external foundation and floor level information will typically create a wider picture and more complete understanding of the foundation condition and repair needs.

We can usually complete underfloor inspections without the need for full access to the space under your floor. As a result, the inspection is quick and causes minimal disruption or disturbance.

 

Drone Inspections

Our new drone inspections allow us to capture high-quality aerial imagery of the areas that matter most: roofs, chimney structures, two-storey cladding and maintenance points, and those tight or elevated spaces that are often overlooked.

Using drone technology means we can assess condition with greater accuracy, identify early signs of deterioration, and give you a clearer picture of what your home may need now and in the future. It’s a fast, safe, and comprehensive way to add confidence to your inspection.
