Structural Inspection, Alton, Hampshire, V Sanderson - March 2021Party Wall, Lightwater, Surry, M Slade - February 2021
Structural Inspection, Easthampstead, Bracknell, D Awhicker - February 2021
Promptness of response : I needed a survey quickly and and WRD responded very quickly.
Quality of service : The survey and response speedy and met the requirements.
Value for money : Due to covid 19 and the Christmas break I was restricted to the surveyors that responded and needed the survey to help with a wobbly house-sale. The ball park quote on this website was £850 so I expected about £1000. I was quoted £1440 for the work which was disappointing. To be fair I had the opportunity to cancel but had to go ahead with the survey. The reason I was given for the high price was the distance the surveyor had to travel to carry out the work as it was a long way from their usual area. I think this should be made clearer and that prices quoted are dependent on distance even though the listing in localsurveyorsdirect.co.uk say they can survey properties in certain postcodes.
Professionalism : All good here

Structural Inspection Neil P, Bognor RegisThe website worked well. I followed up with Engineers Reports. The work has been carried and all was satisfactory.
David, SloughThe website worked well. I followed up with Engineers Reports. The work has been carried and all was satisfactory.
David, SloughThe website was good - will use again. I followed up with Engineers Reports. The response was quick, good communication.
Anwar, HarrowIt was an easy to use website and I used WRD Engineers Limited. I dealt with Sandi Hawkins and Mike Royall at WRD Engineers Limited. They are Southampton-based so they were cheaper than other London-based surveyors, but I was also impressed that they were flexible and very responsive - I needed the party wall notice issued within 24 hours and they did it. I was thoroughly impressed with their level of professionalism, how quick they managed to do everything - including chasing the adjoining owner's surveyor to no end as he was not at all responsive. Overall I would strongly recommend their services.
Maja, Battersea, LondonPlease be good enough to thank Mr Royall for his excellent report and also my thanks to you for arranging the above. Best regards, Stan Scott 05/06/2013 Thank you very much for coming back to us so quickly, excellent customer service!
