Very knowledgeable with property surveying, I've even seen the owner Paul working with working with Dom on the TV show Bad Builders: Bang to Rights showing what to look out for. Highly recommended for a local Surveyor.

If you choose this company, ask for Shaun Cunliffe to do your survey. Never have I met a more professional, approachable, personable and genuinely, exceedingly kind individual as Shaun, who went to so much time, trouble and effort to provide the best survey possible, backed by thorough research and professionally laid-out findings. He's the kind of person who makes the process of getting a survey completed feel like it's not a chore nor a task, but feel like you're dealing with a close friend, trying to help you complete a task as best possible, so you're happy. From now on, if ever I get asked
