 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I commissioned Able Surveyors for a Level 3 survey on a property I was close to purchasing. On the surface, there were no obvious red flags — but Able's report identified over £20,000 worth of required work, including a serious structural issue with a chimney breast. What impressed me was the quality of the reporting. These weren't vague or inflated concerns — each issue came with clear reasoning and a proper explanation of why it mattered. Nothing felt like padding. Because of their thoroughness, I made the difficult but right decision to pull out of the purchase, and I have no doubt that saved me from a very costly mistake. The service from start to finish was excellent. The person who handled my enquiries and questions throughout the process was brilliant — patient, knowledgeable, and responsive. I'm sorry I can't recall her name, but she deserves a mention. I'd recommend Able Surveyors without hesitation. A good survey isn't just about ticking boxes — it's about protecting you from the wrong decision. That's exactly what this one did.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great experience with Able Surveyors. Dean Davidson carried out our Level 3 survey and did an excellent job. The report was clear, detailed, and focused on the things that actually matter. He explained structural points, risks, and repair priorities in a straightforward way that made the whole process easier to navigate. Professional, thorough, and reliable. Would definitely recommend Dean and Able Surveyors to anyone buying a property.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a level 3 survey report carried out on a 1940s property. The report arrived the next day and was very thorough and easy to understand. I had some follow-up questions. Jack, the surveyor, was very approachable and got back to me quickly with helpful advice. I would definitely recommend Able Surveyors and Jack.
