What Our Clients Say

"I just wanted to drop you a brief note to thank you for all your help and support for the duration of what can only be described as a difficult project. We're on the home stretch now and I can honestly say that we wouldn't be in this position if it weren't for your expertise and problem-solving skills. I truly appreciated how you took the time to explain every complex resolution to me as a lay person, and how you navigated each hurdle — of which there were many — with flexibility."

"From the outset I have had prompt personal attention from Chris Smaller, for what at first seemed quite a small project on my mid-terrace Victorian cottage, but which grew into something much more complex due to the layout of the property. It required the engagement of a Party Wall Surveyor, Scaffolding Designer, Scaffolder, Roofing Contractor, Piling Contractor, Timber Treatment Specialist, Topographical and Services Surveyor and approval from Building Control. Chris oversaw the building works personally from start to finish and established an excellent working relationship with the roofing contractor. I am extremely grateful to him for his professional and friendly help over the past two years; for liaising with all the other professionals; helping me to negotiate my way through unfamiliar territory and terminology; understanding structural engineering drawings; for doing everything in a timely manner and for communicating so well. Special thanks are also due to Chris for his diplomacy and tact in dealing with my neighbours in order to see this project through to completion. He has gone the extra mile on my behalf on many occasions, for which I shall always be thankful. I have no hesitation in highly recommending Chris Smaller to anyone requiring the services of a structural engineer."

"As you know we could have gone down the wrong route by trying to re-fix into the frame or some similar inappropriate method. Your research and practical approach to fixing the replacement wall cladding was extremely valuable to our client and looks like a nicely engineered solution which both our client and I am really pleased with. Your turn around was super by the way!"
