About
the practice.

Independent building surveyor, domestic energy assessor and retrofit assessor. Tunbridge Wells, Kent. Practitioner-led, plain-English, fixed fees.

Hello, I’m Dom.

I run an independent surveying practice from Tunbridge Wells, working with homeowners, landlords and small developers across Kent, East Sussex, South East London and the wider South East.

The practice has one full-time surveyor — me. Every report you receive is one I’ve walked, measured, written and signed. There is no junior, no template-and-tweak, no white-label sub-contracting. If you ring the number on the website, I’ll answer.

What you’ll get

  • Plain-English reports. No jargon for its own sake. If a recommendation needs technical language, it’ll be there — alongside a translation.
  • A fixed fee, agreed up front. No sliding scale, no “extras” on completion. You’ll know what it costs before I instruct.
  • A working relationship, not a transaction. Most clients ring after the report to talk through it. That call is included.
  • Independence. No introducer fees, no kickbacks from contractors, no recommended-builder list with hidden incentives.

How I work

Site visits are typically two to four hours for a domestic property. I take a long look at the structure, the envelope, the services, the drainage and the immediate ground; photograph what matters; and check the things that often get missed because they’re uncomfortable to access.

The report follows within five working days for most surveys. Energy assessments are quicker — usually 48 hours from inspection to lodged certificate. Retrofit assessments take longer, because the analysis is deeper and the deliverable feeds into a wider design process.

If a property is unusual — listed, traditionally built, off-grid, recently extended, or has a quirky history — that’s the kind of work I most enjoy.

Coverage

The practice covers Kent, East Sussex, South East London and the wider South East. Postcode areas regularly worked: TN, RH, ME, DA, BR, SE, RM, KT, CR, SM, BN. If you’re outside that radius and the job is right, get in touch — I’ll travel.
