Five Star Service
I have no hesitation in highly recommending this company!
​
I received a 'five-star' service from John throughout the whole process, from the initial telephone call explaining the options and providing a quote, carrying out an extremely thorough survey inspection (4 hours!), providing a detailed report complete with useful, arrowed photographs, to responding promptly to all queries and giving much appreciated follow-up advice and recommendations.
​
He could have not been more professional or helpful; thank you so much John!
TESTIMONIALS
ROBBIE
I would highly recommend
From when I first contacted John to request a quote, he was rapid with all responses and very helpful in explaining all elements. Once booked, he liaised with the agent to complete the survey inspection and a report was provided shortly after meaning we were able to swiftly complete on the property.
The survey was well-priced and included an initial pre-inspection phone call to ask about any concerns I had with the property, followed by a post-inspection phone call to summarise his findings. A post-survey call covered questions I had after reading the report. At no point did he rush and we talked for as long as was necessary.
His survey was very detailed. It gave me the confidence that there would be no major hidden issues found once we moved in. The survey was extremely helpful during negotiations and helped us to prepare for work that would be necessary.
The report was well laid out and easy to follow and interpret. Additional information on elements was included as well as images of all parts discussed.
I would highly recommend his services.

Very Detailed & Informative
Thank you John for the very detailed and informative survey you carried out on the property I intend to buy.
​
Any queries I had you took great pains to explain to me so I fully understood all aspects.
​
I could not have asked for more as I found you very approachable and eager to help.
