Surrey Party Wall Surveyors  Reviews 13

Chris's work was great - from laying out clearly the implications of the work, to managing communications with neighbours and insuring peace of mind on our rear extension. Really grateful to him for his great advice, help and superb communications.

Chris was very professional and thorough. He was always on hand to answer our queries and explain the Party Wall Process. I would not hesitate to recommend him. Thank you.

Chris has been extremely helpful and communicative in dealing with our Party Wall Notices. I would not hesitate to recommend him to others and would definitely use his services again for any future projects.

We had neighbours that received a letter from another surveyor that put the fear of God in them with regards to a simple loft conversion. The other surveyor would not give me a quote for surveys until my neighbours had signed up then would have charged me a fortune.

I recommended Chris and Ed to my neighbours who explained all of the options and prices for surveys and talked them through the procedures. They agreed to have a survey and photos taken which they were extremely happy about.

I can't recommend them enough. Thank you so much for taking the stress away from us.

Helpful, efficient and professional. At a stressful time, as with any build, Chris and Ed always there to help and sort situations out. I would highly recommend Surrey Party Wall Surveyors. Their fees are also very reasonable.

Amazing company. So helpful! Various issues came up with our neighbours and their surveyor, however Surrey Party Wall Surveyors were able to deal with the situation and help us proceed with our loft and kitchen extension as quickly as possible. They are always on the ball and really care about helping clients. I would highly recommend them

My decision to use Surrey Party Wall as my surveyor and sister company Beaver Tech as my architect / structural engineer was based on a competitive quote and their knowledge of houses in the area my property was located – an Apostles style terraced house in South Wimbledon. Building works began in Sept 2022, on what was supposed to be a 10 week project to add a 4m rear extension and 3rd bedroom with en-suite in the loft space. Building work seemed good at first, but after a few months had passed, it came to be every homeowners nightmare. Inadequate steel supports in the foundations, missing support beams in loft floors, missing supports for roof steels, omitted supporting columns on the rear of the house, totally inadequate and leaking roof, incorrect tiles used on the rear extension causing an influx of rainwater everywhere, incorrect and missing insulation…..the list was almost endless. This, plus damage to neighbour's houses are just some of the problems encountered. It was, to quote Beaver Tech, “one of the worst building projects they had ever seen”. Thank goodness for Chris and his father Ed at Beaver Tech / Surrey Party Wall Surveyors. By looking at photos I had taken, discussing issues and site visits, they identified every incorrect or missing structural detail and immediately informed me and the building company what had happened and what MUST be done to rectify the issues. They would make themselves available at weekends to inspect the works at the property and liaised with Building Control to ensure they didn’t signoff anything that wasn't visible or already plastered over or covered in flooring. If it was, they insisted it be exposed for inspection. Chris even gave me advise on speaking with the construction company in regards to their unjust demand for extra cash for the remediation works. This advice saved me thousands in extra costs. They also spoke with my very irate neighbours and assured them all would be resolved as soon as possible with minimum disruption. Although the remediation works took an extra 4 months, my house is now complete and structurally sound, as per the architectural designs and building regulations. I cannot thank Chris and Ed enough for ensuring this happened.
For anyone looking for an architect and surveyor, I cannot recommend them enough. They went above and beyond what anyone would expect would be required for a building project.

Very happy the services provided by Chris. My neighbour is installing a loft extension and I recommended Surrey Party Wall. The Party Wall letter issued by Chris, was very comprehensive and also delivered quite quickly. I would recommend his services without any doubt.

I was very happy with the work completed. They acted for us and our two neighbors and delivered on time to tight timescales. They were very knowledgeable and gave us great advice throughout the process.

I am very pleased with the services received from Mr. Chris Forster of Surrey Party Wall Surveyors for the party wall survey for our house. The work was carried out promptly, professionally and at reasonable cost. I would definitely recommend Surrey Party Wall Surveyors to my friends and family.

We contacted Chris to review our neighbours planning application which involved a party wall. Chris reviewed and explained all of the Notices to ensure they were thorough and complete. He also attended our property and took a large number of photos (definitely in the hundreds) of the condition which was then used to complete a very comprehensive report for all parties. We wouldn’t hesitate to use Chris again or recommend him to others.

Contacted on the recommendation of my builder, Chris's introductory letter did a great job setting out the aims of the Act, the various stages of the process and the options available to both sides, very clearly and logically. This threw valuable light onto a very important and potentially tricky situation. It all progressed very calmly and was completed in time for the build.

Professional services provided. Able to help client to sort out issues. Highly recommend.
