It is with great pride and satisfaction that I report my services engineered a structured solution after fighting tooth-and-nail for common sense to override Regulations. My clients were delighted.

This case revolved around the urbanisation of land that then floods due to the water table having risen due to so much house building closeby. This scenario will no doubt repeat itself all across our green and pleasant land as climate change bites. Homeowners are recommended to not be fobbed off by officialdom.

TESTIMONIAL FOR DRAINAGE & RELATED WORK BY STUART PARRETT FRICS

I recommend that you use Stuart Parrett to provide professional services for securing permission to install or improve drainage in residential properties.

 

Work carried out by Stuart in 2010 and 2011 advised us on the improvements needed to prevent our property getting flooded. This was in 2 phases. Firstly, he persuaded the local authorities who were responsible for drainage (principally Hampshire CC, but also Winchester CC and Swanmore Parish Council) to agree to connecting our pipes into their drainage systems. Initially they were highly resistant to doing this.

 

Secondly he drew up the development of drainage improvements, selected a very good contractor (Metro Rod) and oversaw their work, acting as an advocate for us.

 

Key features of Stuart’s work are:

 

• It is highly professional. Stuart has wide experience of taking action to promote high professional standards including through the courts
• Innovative – Stuart makes extensive use of IT systems to manage projects & for researching the best solutions
• Rapid learner: Stuart developed an understanding of council policies and systems very quickly
• Good at getting professionals from different organisations to align their policies and understanding where they are coming from
• Empathetic, understanding how stressful it can be for clients to have to cope with threats of flooding of their property
• Understanding of the ways that problems can interact e.g. seeing how work to improve drainage can have unexpected impacts on ground stability of nearby buildings
• Good at explaining complex aspects of civil engineering to clients and good at communicating
• Responsive and timely. Stuart is very good at ensuring projects keep on schedule
• Hard working: Stuart is willing to put in extra hours to deliver work on time.
• Good value for money.

My client kindly commented, after exchange of contracts, as follows:-

I am happy to recommend Stuart Parrett unequivocally. His professionalism and experience, diplomacy and tenacity really shone through on our difficult and complicated purchase.  He was spot on with his valuation and uncovered lots of issues with the property that a less thorough surveyor may have missed. We have purchased with our eyes open and at the right price… thanks to Stuart.

On the professional side of things, I would strongly recommendStuart Parrett of ProInspect. Stuart runs a firm from Bishops Waltham. Check his web site here He is a residential surveyor who has a fervent passion for surveying and wants to share that passion with the world.  His web site is crammed full of useful articles.  If you need a surveyor who will produce a comprehensive survey report using the latest technology including thermal imaging, Stuart is your man.  He is also a really nice chap.

I recently moved into my new home near Fareham after deciding to leave Surrey and settle near to the sea. After months of searching I found a house that suited my needs. The house was only 12 years old and I knew there were no serious problems but still wanted to ensure that I wasn’t buying myself a heap of problems.

I approached Stuart at PROinspect and asked if he could check the house over for me and report back verbally – I didn’t need a lengthy written report, just some reassurance and advice. I couldn’t have found anyone better to provide what I required, and more.

Stuart carried out the survey promptly and reported back to me as requested. He checked things I would never have expected, nor indeed have encountered on previous surveys. He reassured me not just about the house but also about the local environment, advising on the degree of seriousness and related appropriate action needed should I go ahead with the purchase.

All the advice and information was clear and precise and on the basis of Stuart’s assessment I was able to buy with confidence and am happily settled in my new home.

I really appreciated Stuart’s friendly manner and down-to-earth approach and felt totally confident that I was in safe hands.

I would not hesitate to recommend PROinspect to anybody requiring a survey or inspection on a residential property for whatever reason. Stuart has a wealth of knowledge and experience and is a pleasure to deal with.
