“An excellent service”
The survey was arranged efficiently and we received a full report back within three working days. The report appears thorough and easy to understand despite my lack of building knowledge. I would recommend this company.

“Best survey I ever had”
Not only was Marc super-responsive and helpful, but he was also the best value from all the quotes we received. The report was very thorough and I have no hesitation recommending his services.

“A quick and thorough service”
Marc’s team were fast at responding to initial emails and arranged for my survey to be booked in quickly with the estate agent. I was able to book a survey in for the following week, and I’m very pleased with the report which was emailed to me within three working days.
