Five star service! Provided an excellent level of detail in my report that was clear and easy to understand. Speedy service, competitively priced and extremely responsive and efficient. Tremendously friendly customer service, too.

I had Sean Steer do a survey of the house we are looking to buy, which is in need of significant work. He did a full survey including structural and gave me reassurance that the core of the building was completely fine, there was nothing untoward that would cause me long term issue, and gave me reassurance to progress towards completion with confidence. I sent Sean a list of questions in advance and he answered them comprehensively as well as meeting me onsite the following day at short notice to answer some additional questions that I had (I am one o fthose customers with a long list of questions

Report
Not a great experience. Sent photos in anticipation of a survey highlighting some areas of concern to me (large cracks in a wall) - these were somehow overlooked when the vendors covered up the cracks and no questions asked of the vendor - clearly hadn't read my brief. A shame as I put my faith in this company. Failed to spot some significant rot in a structural pillar which has been subsequently readily identified by another surveyor. Has failed to follow up on several of my attempts to ask what happened here!! There are plenty of other surveyors around so check around and come here at your peril

Delighted by the job Brian Gale did for us. They provided a very efficient service and the building survey report from Patrick Moyle was extremely detailed and thorough - just what we were looking for. He is also an expert in old properties which was a particularly good fit for us and we found him very impressive indeed. Patrick also very kindly talked us through his c. 50 page report on the phone on a Saturday morning, which was really going above and beyond. It was very much appreciated and good to get some more context and opinion and clear /easy to understand answers to questions we had on

I am extremely pleased with the service provided by Patrick Moyle and he has taken over 450 photographs and produced an extremely good and comprehensive report on the state of our property and land. Very thorough and in very good time - thank you.
