Who we are

Banham & Barnes Surveying combines established expertise with a modern, professional approach.

As an independent practice, we provide residential property surveys rooted in careful inspection, sound technical judgement and clear, practical reporting. Each instruction is approached with diligence and attention to detail, recognising that no two properties - or clients - are the same.

Time is taken on site to assess each building thoroughly and methodically. Our inspections consider the visible structure and fabric of the property in the context of its age, construction and setting, drawing on detailed knowledge of both traditional building techniques and modern construction methods. Particular care is given to understanding how materials perform over time, and how defects may affect both present condition and future maintenance.

Our reports are written in plain English and structured to be both comprehensive and accessible. We provide balanced, straightforward advice that explains risks, implications and recommended actions clearly, allowing you to make informed decisions. Where appropriate, we outline practical next steps and prioritise matters according to urgency, cost and long-term stewardship.

Whether advising on a period cottage, a listed building or a more modern home, our focus remains the same: careful inspection, considered analysis and advice delivered with integrity - enabling you to proceed with clarity and confidence.

All surveys are personally inspected and reported by Mike Barnes, AssocRICS. As an independent practice, we do not sub-contract survey work, ensuring that each client receives a consistent and professional service.
