Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.

Some results mean the work is licensed, and we’ll explain what happens then.

- Tell us what work you’re planning
- Tell us if there’s adhesive under tiles
- Make the area easy to reach

What to avoid
Do not break off a piece to test yourself.
