Book a cellar discovery survey in Bingley

What the visit records (Bingley stock)

Bring a torch; we bring a moisture meter and a notebook, not a spray gun.

• Housing type — Park Road / Ferncliffe / Dubb Lane / Wellington Street mill terrace, Myrtle Park or Main Street town-centre stone, Crossflatts canal-corridor, Eldwick / Gilstead / Priestthorpe / Lady Lane hillside, shop-with-cellar, or a later house that may have no cellar.
• Access — internal stair, coal chute, side door, shop stair. Whether a membrane roll and a sump body will actually go down that opening. Five Rise / Main Street parking is noted, not assumed.
• Party wall — who lives next door on a mill terrace; whether the Act is likely to apply before anyone cuts a channel. Crossflatts semis vary. Eldwick detached plots may not.
• Water story — film after rain, one Aire flood, seepage from the perched Five Rise cut, a buried mill goit, constant wet, or only a smell. Valley houses get Aire and canal and goit questions, plus whether the combined drain surcharges when the river is up. Eldwick / Gilstead / Priestthorpe get hillside questions. We do not ask Worth Valley questions that belong in another town, and we do not ask Ilkley Moor runoff questions.
• Invert and outfall — existing combined drain, mill-yard pipe, Crossflatts garden drain. Whether a pump is required. We do not plan a discharge into the Aire or the canal.
• Sump location — the one dry corner you still use; sleeping rooms above; future shower if conversion is even a maybe.
• Previous coats — slurry, bitumen, none. Cellar tanking vs Type C.
• Bradford Building Control — enough construction and flood-history notes to support a notice later. Bingley is Bradford, not Leeds.

You leave with a written record of this cellar, not a county template. A price, if the job is real Type C, follows that record. Cost variables.

If the room is a dry cupboard, or the house has no cellar, the survey says that. We would rather a short honest visit than a specification looking for a room.

Practicalities for this cell

• Parking — mill terraces: on-street, through-house carry. Town centre / Five Rise: tight, visitor traffic, do not assume a tanker bay. Crossflatts: often a drive. Eldwick: hillside street parking.
• Time — enough to get into the cellar, not a five-minute damp “survey”.
• Neighbour — if it is a mill terrace, you may want them in the loop before works, not before this first visit.
• No public office — we come to the house. There is no walk-in unit on Main Street, by Myrtle Park, or at the locks.

After the survey

If Type C is justified: specification, cost range with the variables named, Bradford notice path, party-wall flag, flood-history on the record. If it is not: a short note, not a hard sell. If the cellar is in flood now: first response vs full waterproofing.

Conversion talk stays secondary. After the cellar is dry.
