What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Homeowners facing Party Wall Act matters, along with commercial clients, underpin much of the feedback for this Derby practice, and a clear pattern runs through the accounts. Andy is the member of staff named most often, with reviewers describing his manner as professional yet approachable, and many note how he steered them through the unfamiliar territory of Party Wall Act Awards, from serving notice and conferring with the adjoining owner's appointed surveyor to arranging site visits and preparing the final award. Customers value prompt replies to their enquiries, competitive quotes and the speed with which appointments and reports followed.

A recurring theme is the way technical language is explained in plain terms, easing anxiety for those new to the process. Attention to detail features often, whether in party wall disputes, commercial building surveys or a reinstatement project after fire damage, alongside thoroughness and diligence. Communication throughout the work is a further point raised regularly, with clients noting that calls and messages were answered without difficulty. The advice given on cracks and settlement, and on protecting older outbuildings during neighbouring demolition, is described as helpful and reassuring.

I would highly recommend Andy at Fabric Surveyors to anyone needing a surveyor to prepare a Party Wall Act Award. Andy responded quickly to my request for information and provided a quote. He dealt with the whole procedure from serving notice, liaising with the other party's surveyor, arranging a site visit and preparing the Award. Excellent communication throughout.

We've used Andy from Fabric as our party wall surveyor twice now and would be very happy to do so again. He is very knowledgeable, proactive and willing to go the extra mile to get agreements between all parties. Our most recent project involved specialist foundations and a lengthy negotiation, and he saw it through with real patience and tact. We highly recommend him.

Andy from Fabric Surveyors was excellent working on our party wall dispute. Expert knowledge on all party wall issues. Attention to detail throughout the process taking the stress and worry from a difficult issue. Highly recommended.

Andy was great to work with. He explained this simply and effectively and made things very easy for us. He was also great at communicating and liaising with the other party involved. Would highly recommend for anyone new to this area of property.

Andy Graham was extremely helpful about a problem in a house we were potentially buying. He was very generous with his time and expert knowledge. Thanks also go to Karen in the office for making the arrangements very efficiently.

Excellent Party Wall advice which has protected out 140 year old outhouses. We share semi-detached outhouses with our neighbour. He wanted to demolish his half to open up his garden. We said we would be happy as long our half of the outhouses was not weakened and the dividing wall was made weatherproof. Over several months various schemes were outlined. The schemes were fairly simple. There were no technical design drawings to demonstrate how our outhouses would be protected. Andy responded promptly, pointing out to us and to the neighbour that with no detailed information to protect our property we should not agree to proceed. Eventually the neighbour decided not to demolish but to make changes on the far side of the outhouses. These do not affect our outhouses. As Andy pointed out, were far enough away not to require a Party Wall agreement. Many thanks, Andy

Excellent service from Andy, for any Party Wall Surveyor requirements in the future he would be our first port of call. Diligent and efficient, cutting through the jargon making the whole experience seamless.
