Please enter your details below to send us an online enquiry. Please try to give us as much information as possible - especially where your home is located.
If you are looking to have a survey on a building, can you please provide an agents link if possible to enable us to come back to you quickly.
If your enquiry is about a survey, could you please supply the address of the property, and if possible an agents link. This helps us understand where it is and the size of the place.
If your enquiry is about damp issues, note that 'timber and damp surveys' cost from £1200 depending on location. We MAY be able to help with a telephone consultation as an alternative at £250, but this does depend on how specific the problem is. We need to know whereabouts in the country you are to enable us to decide which office deals with the enquiry.
Many thanks! We are VERY busy, so do bear in mind we may not respond immediately if we don't have enough information.

He is passionate about ensuring the 'Rising Damp' myth is firmly buried. Pete has an all consuming project to re-open a Victorian lead mine in the Northern Pennines - digging out and exploring miles of abandoned tunnels in the search for crystal lined cavities...
