Local authorities are responsible for maintaining and managing a diverse property portfolio, often ranging from social housing and public buildings to historic and heritage assets. Identifying and addressing issues affecting the building fabric is essential to maintaining safe, durable and compliant properties while ensuring public funds are invested effectively.

Northway works alongside local councils to investigate defects affecting buildings, providing clear, evidence-based assessments and practical recommendations. Our survey-led approach focuses on identifying the root cause of issues before recommending any remedial action, helping councils make informed decisions regarding maintenance, refurbishment and asset management.

We understand the importance of accountability, documentation and transparency when working within the public sector. Our reports are designed to provide clear findings, supporting evidence and practical recommendations that can assist with maintenance planning, procurement decisions and long-term property management strategies.

Whether supporting housing teams, estates departments or project managers, Northway provides specialist expertise that helps local authorities protect building assets, prioritise remedial works and maintain properties to an appropriate standard for occupants and stakeholders alike.
