Has acted as Party Wall surveyor for me - really responsive and excellent service.
Richard was very helpful. He’s knowledgable and quick to respond to queries. Would recommend.
If you are looking for someone to go the extra mile look no further than Richard Hourican. I cannot thank him enough for the excellent job he did in securing my Party Wall Awards. There were numerous flats either side of my property. A total of 11 altogether. Some responded, some didn't but Richard didn't give up. He made what could have been a difficult, long drawn out and stressful situation a lot easier to handle and took all the flak and came up with the result. Don't look any further than this, you have found your man. Thank you!
Great fast response and the party wall award was received in good time before the build. Thank you
