Report
Andrew Hodge has provided advice regarding surveying issues for the last few years, including party wall, building consent, preventative maintenance and general building issues. His advice is extremely comprehensive yet accessible to those with little building knowledge. Quick to respond to queries via email and telephone - would definitely recommend A J Hodge Associates.

Report
Andrew provided advice and drew up a Party Wall Award for us. His advice was clear and understandable, helping us make the right decisions on the structure. He was professional in dealing with our neighbours and prompt in arranging surveys and issuing the Award. Id recommend to others looking for a similar service. Thanks
