The service provided was party wall and was professional especially it got done swiftly and in good time and did not delay the building work of the next door neighbor. N13, Eaton Park Road
All good thankyou!
Very efficient and professional, I’m satisfactory with their services.
We worked with Peter Barry Surveyors on the renovation of our house which had 4 party wall notices. I found them to be professional and responsive and would work with them again
Callum was great at the onset dealing with my party wall requirements with my two neighbours. He was very supportive and clearly explained the process step by step. He was easily contactable and answered my queries with great understanding. He was very accommodating by attending conference calls with the constructor and also via email. Overall the process was seamless and party wall awards were completed in quick time. Thank you Callum. Trusted and recommended.
