Alice Gavin

Happy Client​

The surveyor made the process of getting my energy performance certificate easy and stress-free. I emailed to enquire and he called me back straight away to arrange an appointment. He is competitively priced, friendly and clearly very knowledgeable. He also came prepared with a mask and kept his distance, and he gave me a courtesy call before he arrived to let me know he was almost here. I’m delighted with his service and would highly recommend him for EPCs.
