We carry out regular survey and party wall work across Reading and the wider Berkshire area. The property mix is wide: dense Victorian terraced housing in central Reading, Edwardian and 1930s semis in Caversham and Tilehurst, post-war estate housing across Earley and Whitley, and the modern estates that have grown around the southern and western edges of the town. We work across the RG1, RG2, RG4, RG5, RG6, RG30, and RG31 postcodes. Most surveys in Reading are inspected within a few days of enquiry.

"HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: Excellent service and clarity provided for the Level 3 RICS survey, i got it done recently. Starting from quotation to survey to survey report published and until the end to explain the survey report and extended support to understand and help to make a right decision for the property price and purchase commitment. Uzoma has helped me a lot in a very friendly and prompt manner. Would always recommend for any surveying services and will surely seek their services again as and when needed in future."
