Highlights
"Garry has been brilliant from start to finish. We’ve used him several times now and he’s always reliable, professional, and does a great job. ."
"First class service! We had a full survey completed to a property, the surveyor called us on the day to have a chat about his findings and immediate concerns. The report was concise, extremely informative and detailed. It was well written and could be understood clearly with photos to assist. The outcome of the report also saved us £9k in renegotiation! This is now our second survey we have had and wouldn’t go anywhere else. Would thoroughly recommend! 10/10!!"

Before you hire a builder
Never pay a large deposit up front — agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow — both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work — and that they are current.
Want an extra legitimacy check?
