Building Surveyors Serving the Ribble Valley, Lancashire and West Yorkshire

From the very first contact, the service was excellent. The survey was booked quickly and completed within days. The report was thorough, detailed and clearly tailored to the property. What really stood out was the follow-up — taking the time to meet in person to go through the findings was incredibly valuable. I also appreciated the estimated costs for repairs and guidance on timeframes. A highly professional, knowledgeable and responsive service. Great value for money and I would not hesitate to recommend.

I recently purchased a property and used Gawthorpe & Co for the survey. Mike was brilliant from my initial enquiry right through to delivering the report. The level of detail was excellent, and he clearly explained what I should genuinely be concerned about versus what is normal for a property of this type. He was extremely engaging, approachable, and made himself available to answer any questions I had. A thoroughly professional service from start to finish, highly recommended.

After speaking to Michael about the upcoming purchase of a longed for property I felt an extreme relief to have everything explained to me in such great and understanding detail. Michael explained all the process of our impending survey which in itself is mind blowing. I will not hesitate a second in using his services for our survey. Such a service offered where the buyer has all points covered and fully explained is a great thing.

I came for advice on some properties I have been looking at. Michael gave great advice and we will be using him again in the future when I do purchase.

Having worked with Michael on numerous occasions I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the company!

We are so glad we chose Michael to do our level 2 homebuyers survey, he really went the extra mile, meeting us after the survey for a coffee to go through everything so we understood the findings. He did a really thorough job of inspecting the whole property inside and out, and the report was both exceptionally detailed and also easy to understand. He was also on hand to answer follow up questions on the phone and give us professional advice about our options and the next steps we can take. We're really glad we didn't go with a slightly cheaper quote from one of the big companies — we are so grateful for Michael's personalised approach and attention to detail, he is absolutely worth his weight in gold. Thank you!!

Michael provided an extremely professional and efficient service. He provided a comprehensive survey and report and responded to all our questions promptly and fully. I would definitely recommend his services.

We recently instructed Michael to carry out a Level 3 Building Survey on a property we are purchasing, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him. From start to finish, Michael was professional, efficient and communicated extremely well. Before the written report was issued, he took the time to give us a clear, high-level overview of his findings, which was very reassuring. The survey itself was exceptionally thorough, detailed and easy to understand. It highlighted the key issues without being alarmist and gave us the confidence to make informed decisions. Several observations were later confirmed by a CCTV drain survey, which reinforced just how diligent and accurate his inspection had been.

I honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience with Michael at Gawthorpe & Co Surveyors. From my initial enquiry through to receiving the final report, the whole process was handled professionally, efficiently and with genuine care. The survey was incredibly thorough, detailed, well organised and easy to understand, and included photographic evidence of everything mentioned. Michael cannot do enough to help you and replies to all emails the same day. His knowledge, honesty and approachable manner made the process straightforward and reassuring as first time buyers. If you are looking for a surveyor who goes above and beyond I would 100% recommend Michael.
