Very prompt, efficient & helpful in the office . Surveyor Sean Thompson gave a detailed but easy to understand survey / report and very helpful in answering my questions. Would highly recommend this company.

Sean at Walker Dunn has recently provided us with an excellent service. The survey report was detailed and delivered within set timescales. He has been very helpful across all aspects of the process.

Walker Dunn provided our domestic building survey. Their communications and service were excellent. They took control of the whole process, arranged a convenient time to do the survey and supplied the full report very quickly. I would not hesitate to use WD again and to recommend them to friends, family, and colleagues.

The surveyor from Walker-Dunn failed to pick up on the fact of 4 upstairs doors only 3 shut properly with the latch failing to find the keep. Moving the keep was only a simple fix for 2 of the 3 door affected. Walker-Dunn failed to identify the back the garage is extended with poor brick work which the extended portion falling away from the back of the original build with upto 1 inch crack in places and most importantly failed to identify the poor condition of two 3 m wide windows. The key issue of the windows is the rubber seals have shrunk by over 1 inch in the corners and sediment / water is present between the panes which cannot be cleaned. When challenged, they immediately pushed back saying their report highlighted a safety issue with the downstairs window and that was enough to warrant a further inspection from a windows expert-the report certainly didnt mention that that further inspection was required or that the condition of any of the windows was poor. Further whilst highlighting the other issues mentioned, the surveyor stated they couldn't be expected to outline every fault, and ignored the obviousness that a very poor inspection had taken place. Clearly with this many faults the survey was poor at best, but apparently the marks on the windows were not there when they visited, and the previous owner, or the estate agent who recommended them wouldn't help so we had to settle for a 50% survey refund.

Sandra was friendly and approachable, and couldn’t have done enough to help. The survey was booked very quickly and the report was delivered within a couple of days of this, which was very thorough. It has been the smoothest part of our house-buying journey so far and would recommend Sandra without hesitation. Thank you!

Overall an excellent experience. Only minor issue was that it is sometimes difficult to get through on the telephone. When I did speak with the team they were helpful and very competitively priced. Sean Thompson carried out our survey to a very high standard and submitted the report the following day. Would definitely use again.

Generally very good experience. Only minor gripe was that i tried to contact the office several times one day and didn't get a response. However did get a reply later on in the day, with a lot of detail and it was very helpful.

I received my Building Survey Report the day after the survey was completed. The report was very detailed and Sean provided a prompt response when I needed further clarification on an issue which was highlighted in the report. Very happy with the service and I would definitely recommend to others. Excellent service! Thank you.

Buying and selling a home is as stressful as it comes so having the right professionals supporting you is key to the whole process. I have had to use Walker Dunn Ltd 3 times in the last month to find the right property. They could not have been more professional or efficient. All the estate agents involved were amazed at the speed of arranging a survey and receiving the results. Well done Walker Dunn!.

Very happy with the service & would definitely recommend to others. Received my homebuyer report very quickly (next business day) after the survey was carried out. Prompt response when I needed further clarification of an issue which was highlighted.
