Great service, best price we found, with full structural report delivered in 24h of inspection - we simply couldn't ask for more. This is the second time we've used Flettons as the first property we were looking at purchasing highlighted far too many issues.Our surveyor was Simon and he produced a full structural survey report for us for both properties. We found the traffic lights system very useful but most of all the indicative costs for essential and improvement works as it helped us plan our budget. We've only lived in new build properties before so having a full professional survey picking up any potential issues with the properties was of great comfort and reassurance. The photographic report was also very useful to keep a record of the property's condition. Having the full strucural report also helped us negotiate a better deal for our buildings insurance. Simon was very approachable, accessible and answered all of our queries to date promptly.Overall very happy with the service and we've already recomended Simon to a colleague of mine who is also going through a purchase.

Survey was arranged, paid for and conducted within a week. Although I had to chase several times to get my summary report, the end product seems to be of high quality. I especially like the estimated cost breakdown of repairs and alterations which will be a useful guide to make home improvements in the future

Excellent service from start to finish. I received a detailed document supported by a lot of pictures and recommendations. Even estimation for a loft conversion, had we wish to change it. I got in contact with them recommended by a friend and I would do exactly the same, recommend them 100%.

After an initial mistake relating to the scope of the report, Simon went above and beyond to rectify the issue as soon as possible. The morning after the mistake was highlighted, Simon revisited the property and proceeded to work late into his Friday evening to get the updated report back to me as soon as possible. The report itself was comprehensive and clear. Any queries that we had were answered promptly and clearly even responding over the weekend. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Flettons after my experience.

Flettons is responsive and efficient. They went out of their way to give us a summary then our full report in less than 3 days. The report was detailed and filled with photographs which made it perfect for non-savvy people. We would definitely recommend Flettons or use their service again.

I found the service provided by Flettons to be very professional and a nice quick turnaround for a very comprehensive building Survey.The traffic light system was easy to use and the report itself had raised some issues not thought about originally in our thoughts when trying to purchase our house.If you have any doubts with a property, we would fully recommend using Flettons to obtain the information you need to make an informed decision on that property.

Flettons Surveyors provided a very professional service, at a competitive price for a full building survey.The report was very well structured, comprehensive and easy to navigate. The report included the use of a 'traffic light' system, detailed photos, as well as a break down of estimated repair costs which was very useful. They also sent through a preliminary on-site feedback report the day after the survey.Would definitely use them again.

In early June this year, I decided to buy a flat in a Grade II Listed Building. Looking up firms in Local Surveyors Direct, I contacted a few and Flettons Facilities Management Ltd were the first to respond. They were friendly and very helpful which was a relief as it's been a long time since I've had anything to do with surveys. Upon receiving my full building survey report, I sent them an email with follow-up questions and Simon Hanchard of Flettons responded by return. I then had to ask further questions and again, he replied very promptly. I'm totally happy. The full building survey report was comprehensive and jargon free enough for a layperson to understand comfortably. It was neither the cheapest nor the most expensive of the quotes I received. The service was definitely value for money. Professionalism: Yes, definitely. I do thoroughly recommend Flettons and in particular, Yoanna and Simon.

Simon produced an absolutely fantastic survey. Very thorough and well presented making the vast amount of information easy to digest. The traffic light system used to identify the urgency of repairs was particularly helpful, as was the estimate repair costs which helped with price negotiations. My estate agent even said it was the best survey he'd ever come across! Would highly recommend!!!

I had a full structural survey done by Simon from Flettons. Well worth the money! The detail of the survey and the layout was most helpful to inform my purchase of a rather neglected 1930s mid terrace. Turn around time was fast as well. Not only that but about 1 year later I called up Simon to ask for further advice with regards to renovation/extension/conversion works that I had planned and he was most helpful and recommended good websites and books I should read in prepatation. Would definitely recommend to anyone needing a survey done!

I did a full building survey, which I recommend any potential buyer to do. The money I paid for it was more than worth it because the issues that were found allowed me to renegotiate the price and save myself thousands of £. I instructed them through email, they arranged with the agent and the day after the survey was done I received an initial report pointing out the main findings (damp, door frames, etc) A few days later I received a detailed PDF report that was 79 pages long!!! It included every single area of the house and was presented in a very professional manner, including photos and cost etimates for the job that needed to be done. I also contacted the surveyor himself who kindly answered all of my questions. I highly recommend getting a building survey done if you are planning to buy a house and I advise to use Flettons to do it. 5 star service!

Simon produced an extremely detailed survey for us that helped us pose the correct questions to the seller - many of which we hadn't thought of until he raised them. Our house purchase took a very long time but Simon was still willing to discuss his report on the telephone with me several months after he wrote it. His work comes highly recommended from us.

A competitive price for full structural including aerial photographs and thermal images which were extremely helpful. The report was comprehensive and laid out well so it was easy to follow and understand. The surveyor supplied his contact details which was most helpful and I was able to clarify important matters within the report. I would recommend Flettons survey to anyone considering purchasing an older home. It is vital to know about your property and have potential future cost identified so this can be factored when deciding to proceed with purchase or not. A first class service by Flettons, quick and professional.

Great professional service from start to finish at good price.The report was thorough with detailed photos which was delivered on time and a preliminary report sent over on the day after the survey.

When looking for a quote for a full building survey Flettons were by far the cheapest and most competitive, therefore I was sceptical as to the quality of the survey that would be carried out. After further investigation and examination of their sample survey online I decided to use them as it seemed to be inline with other surveyorsThe survey was carried out promptly (within 24 hours of being instructed)and I then received a summary of findings of the following day prior to receiving the full survey. This was very useful as gave an indication of the areas to concentrate on in the full report.The full survey was then received a week later and was extremely detailed and well presented, can't fault it any way. Another nice feature is I was able to directly contact the surveyor of my property via whatsapp, this was extremely convenient and allowed for quick answers to any queries I had while at work rather than having to get hold of someone on the phone.Highly recommended company and will use them again in the future.

Really fantastic service. Incredibly thorough report, even going so far as to estimate the cost of a replacement kitchen! The pictures really helped to identify problem areas, a few spots of damp were noted, and this will be a great help to get work done in the future. We also used their WhatsApp service and got immediate responses to our questions. Well worth the money.

Well presented and comprehensive survey report. A quick summary is also provided which is useful. Clear and simple 'traffic light' highlighting system. Lead paint is included, but only a visual assessment. Testing for lead paint is quick, cheap and easy so could be included. Would definitely use them again.
