h&s Surveyors conducted a level 2 survey ahead of our house purchase last year. Their communication was excellent from start to finish, and their report was thorough and very well written. One year on, the report describes everything we've learned from living in our home and we haven't hesitated to recommend h&s Surveyors to our friends and family. Hopefully, we won't need to move home for some time, but when we do, we will use h&s Surveyors.Posted on GoogleKerry Mann26 March 2025Wonderful and simple process to book in our survey and received back very quickly.

The report was detailed and comprehensive and even our solicitor was impressed with it. We would use them again.Posted on GoogleMike McGrove1 February 2025Andy provided a really thorough RICS Level 3 survey for us, which was clear and easy to understand, for an excellent price. Would definitely recommend.Posted on GoogleSimone Talfourd23 January 2025We recently had a Grade 3 survey conducted as part of the process of purchasing a house, and we couldn’t be happier with the service provided! The survey was incredibly thorough, detailed, and professionally executed, giving us a clear and comprehensive understanding of the property's condition. The report was not only easy to understand but also highlighted important areas to address, which has been invaluable in helping us plan for possible future works. Chris' expertise, attention to detail, and willingness to answer any questions made the whole process seamless and reassuring. We truly feel that this survey was worth every penny and gave us the confidence to move forward with our purchase. Highly recommend to anyone looking for reliable and meticulous survey services!Posted on GoogleAidan Dominy21 January 2025Survey was promptly booked with helpful admin staff responding quickly by email. Survey was detailed (including plenty of photos) and arrived within the time promised. Seems to be much better value for level 2 surveys than other local providers. Would recommend - thank you!Posted on Googlesylvia punter7 November 2024Chris is knowledgeable, efficient and helpful and provides an excellent professional servicePosted on GoogleTeresa Smaridge25 July 2024This was the second time using H&M Surveyors. They were quick to respond to my initial enquiry and also arranging a date for the survey. Chris phoned me beforehand to ask if I had any particular concerns about the property. The level 2 homebuyers report was provided in the timescale advised and Chris was also happy to discuss the findings of the survey once I had seen the report, which I found very useful. Chris was friendly and explained everything I needed to know. Would definitely recommend h&s and will be happy to use again in the future.
Ian’s journey to becoming a Surveyor
Before I started out on the career path that I now find myself on, I was heavily involved in the hospitality trade working for large companies such as Whitbread and the Stonegate Pub Company as well as chain free local places. I have a degree in Hospitality Management and over a decade of experience in that field which is where I would say that I learned a lot about the values of service and standards.
Those values are ones that I believe I will carry over into my new career of surveying and valuation and as a home is likely to be one of the most expensive purchase that a person will make in their lifetime, anything that I can do to help with this process and make it as an enjoyable experience as possible for the client could make the world of difference to them during the stressful time.
Work, Study & Home Life Balance
For the last 3 years I have been studying, shadowing and working alongside our senior surveyor, Andrew Crossman, where I have been able to strike a balance between work, study and home life and having recently qualified as an associate member of the RICS, AssocRICS, I feel I have gained valuable experience and knowledge in both surveying and valuation work and now look forward to the challenges that lie ahead.
The diploma level course was primarily distance learning with occasional visits to Milton Keynes for lectures, interviews and accompanied inspections. Working alongside Andy whilst I completed a portfolio of assignments gave me a chance to learn from the book and apply it into the real world of surveying. Due to the wide variety of different type and age of properties within our catchment area, the modern houses to the old C16th stone-built properties on Dartmoor, I find that no two days or two properties are the same and that the experience of shadowing a senior surveyor has been invaluable to my development.
Now that I am qualified, I hope to gain more valuable knowledge and experience within the trade and study towards a full membership with the RICS to become MRICS qualified whilst maintaining my values of service and standards obtained within the hospitality industry.
