We had a really positive experience working with Garrick. He was very quick to respond to our advert and took the time to speak with me on the phone about the work that we wanted doing before coming out to look at our home. He answered all our questions thoroughly and produced our report the same day. I would highly recommend working with Garrick and would employ him again in the future. More...

Structural Engineer
You're in safe hands. Great, friendly service, I spoke with Garrick on the phone to discuss the job. He understood my requirements immediately and was able to give me an idea of the work involved in each scenario and a likely outcome. He came over the same week to make his survey and was able to provide the specifications needed the next day. Looking forward to having my work carried out now! More...
