What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Historic and listed building surveys, alongside party wall negotiations, are the mainstays of the work described by clients of this Stamford practice. Paul Gowers is the individual most frequently named, with his knowledge of older properties, barn conversions and period cottages earning consistent praise. Several customers describe the reports as remarkably thorough and easy to follow, one account of a historic building survey running well beyond a hundred pages and addressing the roof space, drainage, electrics, insulation and listed building consent.

A point that comes up often is how clearly Paul and Catherine communicate, from the initial enquiry through to the completed report, with questions answered confidently and appointments arranged without fuss. Reviews time and again mention reliability and the readiness to talk through findings once the document has been issued, while party wall appointments as agreed surveyor and boundary negotiations are noted for their calm handling. Practical, timely advice that helped clients avoid potentially expensive mistakes before buying features regularly in the feedback. Reports are supplied in both digital and bound hardcover formats, a detail that several reviewers single out.

Paul completed a Historic Building Survey for me on a 1842 stone cottage. Throughout the process from initial inquiry to sending of the completed the report, the communication has been outstanding. Paul and Catherine answered all of my questions clearly and confidently, providing me with the greatest assurance that the survey was going to be thorough and meet my requirements. The report took place, and Paul phoned me that day and discussed the findings, and then within the given timeframe the full report was sent. The level and quality of information provided was brilliant and the attention to detail was excellent. The report answered questions that I was going to ask without needing to, clearly demonstrating the time and effort that goes into the survey. This combined with an excellent price, ultimately formed a brilliant customer experience. I will pass on my recommendations to friends and family. Thanks again for all your hard work Gowers Surveyors!

Absolutely phenomenal! Paul completed a level 3 historic building survey on a large barn conversion for me. I honestly don't think I have ever been more impressed by any proffessional in any field! I was told by the estate agent that he has a reputation for providing next level detail... and that proved to be correct! His knowledge and wisdom are extraordinary. The report (supplied both in pdf and very impressive bound hardcover book) was 132 pages. It included very relevant advice about how to care for the building, adjusted to the specific context. But 75% of the content was describing the condition of the building and what work was necessary to rectify defects. The report was easy to read and written in plain English and with photos to illustrate. Both before and after the survey, I spoke at length with Paul on the phone - he was very patient with all my silly questions! We haven't yet decided if we are going to progress with this purchase, but I can certainly say that if we pursue another house instead, I won't use anyone other than Paul to survey it!

I can’t thank Paul Gowers enough for the work he did on a party wall dispute. He was professional, responsive and personable.

Having used Paul's services for a survey on our upcoming listed building purchase I can assure you that you will get the most thorough, professional and helpful service that you could wish for. The report tallied over 100 pages covering all aspects of the house, walls, frames, windows, roof space, drainage, outbuildings, render, roof tiles, water tanks, electrics, insulation, listed building consent, health and safety and much more. Not only that but Paul's report also told us how to best maintain the house going forwards, using what materials and how often things need doing. This was most definitely worth every penny and has allowed us to make an informed decision on the purchase going forwards. A+ rating from me!

I have just had a Survey completed by Gowers of Stamford. I have to say that the team there are superb. From the first contact with Catherine who was courteous, professional and helpful and who also arranged everything. To the surveyor Paul who was marvellous, the report was clear and well presented and easy to understand. Paul was extremely helpful and prepared to spend time discussing all the sections and any issues i had.He was very professional and a pleasure to deal with. I don’t normally do revues but felt compelled on this occasion because they deserve enormous praise and i would thoroughly recommend them.
