A heartfelt Testimonial

Stuart Parrett — Fri, 17 Jun 2011 15:51:09 +0000

The attached recommendation for my services comes from a client couple who were at their wits end. Their home had flooded and was liable to do so again if “the Authorities” would not let them drain ground and surface water into a foul sewer in the public road outside their home. After a very long time of negotiation that had got them nowhere I was called in to help.

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.

Testimonial from Lynne B.

I was asked to advise, value and survey a large, prominent Building on the River Meon in Hampshire. The history of the building was diverse and complex and included Insurance Claim underpinning, Flooding and much alteration. This was not a job for an outsider or novice:-

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.

I just wanted to inform you that I have bought the flat – the sellers have agreed to subtract 10,000 from the price. It might have not been the wisest decision, but I just really liked this appartment so much.

Thanks again for your help – you have been terrific and if someone I know asks me for a surveyor, I will definately refer them to you!

All the best, Sabine
