My mortgage company required a damp and timber report post valuation for a property that which was a total shock to me as postponing my mortgage any further would likely result in a possible loss of sale. In my search of someone who was PCA approved and available to travel to London, I came across Keith, I found that I was able to communicate all my requirements with him with absolute ease, He is efficient, responds quickly to emails and calls and turned around the report in a very timely manner. Being independent, Keith had no incentive to sell any unwanted work, in fact he advised the ability to self repair small faults with the structure and also provided links to some treatments for woodworm to save on cost instead of calling any specialist. I would not hesitate in recommending all friends and family to undertake a damp and Timber report with Keith.

I bought a property and I was looking for a damp surveyor in order to have a Timber and Damp survey done in addition to the RICS survey that I had already done. In the end I opted for Keith Gardner. He is a one man shop. Also he is independent so he will not try to sell you repair works or anything. I have also met him personally He is very very good, very capable, he spotted things that were missed by the RICS surveyor. He knows well building regulations. He is very accessible, he responds quickly to emails and calls. The price is very reasonable. I have no doubt 1) I would always do a Timber and Damp survey before buying a house and 2) I would recommend Keith Gardner to friends
