I was happy with the service I received from Structural Surveys. The quote I received for a Full Structural Survey was competitive and when I made enquiries I received a prompt, professional response. The report I received was delivered the day after the survey had taken place (a week after my initial enquiry).
James Holloway - February 2019
Absolutely fantastic service. Appointment was booked to go out to view my property the following day. After paying for the report, the report was then emailed to me the following day after. This has now assisted greatly with my property purchase. Highly recommended.
Chris Birch - December 2018
I am looking to purchase a house and I contacted Structural Surveys Ltd after a Homebuyers report highlighted structural movement in the property and generally painted a very negative picture of the property. This was alarming and stressful and our mortgage provider insisted we have a Structural Survey before they could offer us a mortgage. I got in touch with Structural Surveys Ltd and spoke to Jane, who was very friendly and efficient. The survey was booked in within 3 working days and we were issued a very detailed report less than 24 hours after the survey was conducted. I am so impressed with the level of customer service and also the level of detail that has gone into the survey with such a fast turnaround. It was very easy to understand and came with a number of photographs that helped to explain each detail. I am happy with the result of the survey and I hope that our mortgage provider will have no issues regarding this property now. Thank you so much.

Great service, fully comprehensive report produced, would recommend.
Kimberley Hotel - February 2019
I instructed a survey following a homebuyer's report. The process of instruction was easy, and the report produced very quickly. It was a comprehensive piece of work setting out the details of the issues with the property very clearly, highlighting the significance with a clear rationale in a manner that a layman can clearly understand. Thank you!
Ben Lowing - March 2019
Fast response to enquiry, booked in within a few days and report emailed the following day, a hard copy came through the post soon after. Very clear report with useful points on urgent repairs needed. My mother-in-law had a few questions and Andrew Russell was always helpful. Will be recommending Structural Surveys Ltd to friends. Thanks again for all your help.
Amena Shelleh - March 2017
Many thanks for an excellent service, the engineer was on time and extremely courteous whilst listening to what we required, the resulting professionally prepared and very in depth report was provided the following day. All in all, I would recommend your company without reservation.
Mark Garthwaite - March 2022
From my initial contact to receiving the report was just a couple of days. The report was really easy to understand. Jane in the office was very helpful and a pleasure to talk to. Would recommend without hesitation.
Paula Parker - August 2019
The survey was conducted rapidly and may prove to be of great value as the information sent to me described some severe structural problems that could reduce the chances of reselling the property. I may well have purchased the house without being aware of those problems if I had not had the survey done. The actions by Structural Surveys were efficiently carried out and could have saved me a lot of money in the long run.
David Furness - October 2021
Very well dealt with and supported. Had great knowledge, and a well compiled report. 2nd time I have used them, and if needed will go there again.
