Services include party wall surveys, building surveys, project management, architectural design, condition surveys, contract administration, refurbishment advice, extensions and alterations. Recent instructions have included major external refurbishment programmes for large blocks of flats in Notting Hill and Primrose Hill, residential refurbishments of mansion flats in Knightsbridge and Chelsea, contract administration for a period of house refurbishment in Finchley, and home surveys for traditional Victorian terraced houses in East Finchley and Hackney, and 1920s semi-detached homes in Southgate, Chingford and Bromley.

Homeowners and neighbours involved in party wall matters form the bulk of the feedback for this London practice, with the same name recurring throughout. Adam is described as knowledgeable, professional and approachable, and reviewers repeatedly highlight how he explains rights and options clearly when a neighbour objects to planned work such as an extension or roof repair. Party wall notices and awards are a common thread, and several customers note that documents were produced promptly and that communication stayed quick and clear from the first enquiry through to completion.

A level 3 survey on a flat is singled out for its thoroughness, with questions answered in full detail, while a roof investigation is praised for practical thinking about access and for coordinating with the trades carrying out the repair. Honesty, efficiency and a measured manner come up again and again, as does the sense that advice is tailored to the situation rather than generic. Clients describe being steered through difficult disputes with neighbours, receiving building quotes compared on a like-for-like basis, and feeling that their position was strongly defended from start to finish.
