    John went over and above expectations. He contacted me to ask if I had any specific concerns. His report was thorough and arrived promptly. John kindly discussed areas of the report with me afterwards to provide clarification and context. Highly recommend

    On the downside, the Survey was a week late in arriving, and the spam emails were annoying, after I'd signed up. On the plus side, the Surveyor emailed me several days before the Survey, giving me the chance to put in writing my concerns about the property he was soon to Survey on my behalf [much better than a phone call the day before]. I thought his report on the property was thorough, technical, yet not too technical that you could not understand, as a direct result of his report, and that of my Solicitor's local searches, I withdrew from buying the propertyI would recommend the Surveryor; Nigel Sloper, and the Company he works for; FPS Services Ltd.

    David Chapman was unbelievably helpful. He called me during the inspection and also spoke to me for 45 mins following the survey to talk through various issues. I chose FP Surveying based on price so was slightly worried it may be inferior to others, but i got someone very experienced who was incredibly helpful. I'd definitely recommend David.

    The overall service was poor. The surveyor appointed missed several key points which made the report useless for purposes of addressing issues with the vendors and giving me documented evidence of significant issues. I complained to the company but they did not repeat the survey or provide me with a refund in order for me to go elsewhere. I will now have to appoint a second surveyor in order to obtain a complete and accurate report. very disappointing and I would not recommend this company

    John was brilliant - he reached out before doing the survey so I could let him know if there was anything specific I wanted him to look at. After he did the survey, I received an incredibly thorough, and detailed report that same day! So fast and efficient and I was really impressed. Customer Services at the time of booking could have been better, but the surveyor was 10/10. Thank you!

    Fantastic service at a great price. They were prompt at responding to enquiries, as well as being thorough and very professional. Our surveyor, Trevor, contacted us prior to carrying out the survey, kept us up to date throughout, and then provided a comprehensive report which we are very happy with. But not only that, he also called us the same day to give us verbal feedback ahead of the report, which we very much appreciated. Trevor was excellent and displayed integrity, conscientiousness and fantastic communication from start to finish. I would highly recommend FP Surveying, and were extremely happy with the service we received from them.

    The survey was extremely detailed and conducted without any admin issues or much input from us which was welcome. However it was not easy to get hold of anyone from the office to discuss the results of our survey, which had raised some serious issues with the house we intended purchase. Whilst I appreciate this was due to our particular surveyor being on leave for a week, we were unable to discuss the findings with anyone else from the team during that time and struggled to get hold of our surveyor when he was back. I am just flagging as I feel that particular when a survey has found major issues, it would be ideal to discuss these ASAP to minimise stress and anxiety.

    If I could leave a 0 review I would. On the 07th of August 2023 FP Surveying undertook a survey on a house I have since bought. The house is mine and my wifes first home that was supposed to be a fresh start as shes been medically discharged from the military as a result of severe PTSD and depression.Whilst the communications side of the assessment was absolutely fine the survey itself was beyond unacceptable. The report stated we have found no evidence of significant dampness no repairs are currently needed. Given FP Surveying are RICS accredited I believed the report and purchased the house. It wasnt until we got the keys we found the internal plaster was beyond damp and falling away, this affected our living room, dining room, master bedroom, bathroom and landing (its a 2 bedroom house). Having got a damp specialist in, it was made abundantly clear there is severe penetrating damp on all walls and the internal plaster that has been an issue for a long time.Now, as a result of the surveyors dereliction of duty, we are looking at around 17000 worth of repairs that need immediately doing to ensure the house is liveable. This could have been completely avoided.

    Brilliant, professional and friendly service!- Initial contact and quoting was clear, the website was easy to use and the price was the best too! Booking was simple and there was availability for the survey the next day. In addition to the top reviews we read online, it was a no brainer.- We received a phone call on the day and were told that if anything serious came up we would be contacted straight away.- The report we received was clear and thorough and we were encouraged to get in touch with any questions we had following the work. Even after a phone call to explain the results, we were told not to hesitate to call or email again if we needed to.That's what we call top class service! Highly recommended!

    Survey went well , but surveyer could not get the drainage grids off and did not have the right tools to lift it, crowbar was needed.Had to pay another company 140.00 to complete this task and having to wait another week for the appointment.Surveyer was pleasant and helpful .Would recommend but please make sure the surveyer has a crowbar with him.

    We were very pleased with the survey report we received from Nigel Sloper. Not so pleased that after receiving an initial email from them giving a quick date for the survey to be done, we paid and then found the date would be a fortnight later. We would have liked to ring them to discuss dates before we handed over our money

    I cant praise our surveyor, Ricardo, highly enough. He was extremely thorough, knowledgeable and professional. He has saved us from buying a house which would have literally cost us thousands to repair . We cant recommend this company highly enough and would definitely use them again. It was the best quote we had too. Great customer service as well . The entire company cant be faulted. Thank you , thank you, thank you . Always get a survey done! It was a worth every penny and more .

    Very quick responses and organisation of the homebuyers report. 14 days from paying for the homebuyers report to survey taking place and then 5 days from survey to report being received by email. I was a little concerned that Covid may delay this a little bit but doesna??t seem to have which was great. Legal and General provided survey on behalf of FP Surveying Services. Surveyor phoned the day before viewing to discuss any issues we wanted them to focus on particularly.
