Bluegrass were one of two that actually took the time to explain the process in simple terms so I understood the steps.

I contacted Jonathan regarding a Party Wall matter I needed help with, including issuing notices to our neighbour. Jonathan was very helpful with advice over the phone, and issued the notices very swiftly and for a very reasonable cost.

I highly recommend Bluegrass, they were so helpful when I had to get a party wall agreement setup. I tried to do it myself initially, but then realised it was more complicated than I first thought. So I contacted Bluegrass who gave me a great price for taking care of the agreement. Jonathan took the time to answer any questions I had, and when I asked if he could speak to the architect I was using, this wasn’t a problem at all for him. I was very impressed with Bluegrass, and

Jonathan’s service was fantastic, he visited our property on very short notice which was helpful as we were on a short time scale. He explained things very well to both ourselves and our neighbours with regards to party wall matters. The documentation was then sent through within a couple of days. In addition the rates were far more reasonable than a number of other companies. I would not hesitate to use Bluegrass Surveying again the future. - Stuart Payne (Forest Hill) via G
