“We were very pleased with the service received in our dealings with Richard Russell Surveyors. Richard was incredibly thorough and knowledgeable throughout the process and provided us with all of the information we needed to be able to make the right decision. Our report was very comprehensive and provided all of the technical information needed with the appropriate evidence, and we hugely appreciated subsequent follow up calls where Richard was able to explain his findings in our language! Very grateful for the service and support, and would highly recommend.”

“I can't recommend Richard Russell Surveyors enough. Every part of the process was executed to an exceptional standard. They provided me with an unbelievably thorough survey (everyone I showed it to said it was the best they'd seen, including a family property solicitor). They gave me two post-survey phone calls to go through everything, and have offered to review damp proofing quotes for me once I have received them. Truly exceptional, I couldn't have asked for a better experience.”
