Report
Gateway were used to survey our home by our buyers. The surveyor turned up on time and was very personable. We have decided to use him for the house we are buying due to how good he was at our house.

Absolutely horrendous service! Never use this surveyor. They missed appointments and worst of all made mistakes on the valuation. AVOID at all cost! This firm is a complete joke!
