Highlights
“Very informative/ helpful. Excellent service and correspondance”
“I was really impressed by Fern building surveyors. The communication from Molly and the survey done by Jason. He was punctual and pleasant and went out of his way to get the report to me quickly, as the survey was needed before my father came back to the property from a nursing home. I knew there was issues, but now know what they are and have starting point to make sure that the house is safe. I would recommend them.”

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.
