We found Peter Barry Surveyors via an AI search as we needed a party wall surveyor for a rather complex party wall rebuilding issue. Jaynell Mainoo handled our case and we are extremely happy with the service and the efficiency. We will definitely ask for Jaynell again if needed.
I recently used Peter Barry to help me secure party wall agreements from my two neighbours, and I couldn't be more impressed. From start to finish, their team was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly efficient. They guided me through the entire process, answered all my questions promptly, and made what I expected to be a stressful experience completely hassle-free. Thanks to their expertise and excellent communication, both agreements were obtained quickly and without any issues. I highly recommend Peter Barry to anyone needing party wall support—you’ll be in great hands!
Peter Barry assisted us with a surveyor’s report following cracking in a property we manage. Joanne was excellent in booking a surveyor promptly and professionally.
We recently used Peter Barry Chartered Surveyors to handle our party wall agreement and were extremely pleased with the service we received.

From start to finish, the team was professional, knowledgeable, and very responsive. They explained the party wall process clearly, kept everything moving efficiently.

Communication was excellent throughout, and we felt confident that everything was being handled properly and fairly for all parties involved.

I would highly recommend Peter Barry Chartered Surveyors to anyone needing party wall advice or surveying services.
Professional, diligent and very quick. I was offered a call with David Breeze after his survey, which was incredibly helpful - as he was able to explain "in real English" what was in the report and which elements I needed to be most/less concerned about. Would highly recommend!
