“Element did a level 3 survey in under two weeks of our quote. Ben gave clear advice on the type of survey and services we should get for the property. His quote was reasonable and easy to understand. Ben's report was comprehensive and readable. He responded to our Qs over email and was available before and after to answer questions. In particular, it's worth noting that Element offer services for which some national surveyors slap on a surcharge. Our report had useful drone photos of the roof as standard (I've seen +£200 quoted elsewhere), and some charge £200 for post-survey consultations.”

Highlights
“Ben was very professional and polite in all dealings and communication and quick to respond to emails. The survey was booked in same week and we received initial findings the next day with the full report following the next weekend. The report was incredibly thorough and detailed with photos throughout. We had requested some specifics to be inspected, which Ben carried out no problem. We would definitely recommend this service, much easier than dealing with a large company and no hidden costs or corners cut. Really impressed.”
“Ben's been very clear and helpful through the inspection process: He responded to emails and questions very promptly and his final report was produced to the promised timescale and was very clear. Would definitely recommend to anyone else.”

Worth checking yourself
Their public evidence comes from a single source. Look them up on another site before deciding.

This trade isn't licensed in the UK, so anyone can set up. TrustMark is the only Government-endorsed quality scheme for work in and around the home - check whether they're registered, or find a TrustMark-registered business.
Check the TrustMark registerNever pay a large deposit up front. Agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow. Both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
