Active Services were brilliant from start to finish in treating a woodworm infestation for us. They provided a comprehensive survey report and clearly articulated expert advice. The team accommodated us very quickly and the works were completed to a high standard. The admin team were also fantastic with very good communication.

Job location: PL7Fran on reception and Toby the surveyor couldn’t have been more helpful and professional and went above and beyond to ensure we were seen as soon as possible. We were given an accurate report of Toby’s findings as well. Such is a big relief knowing we can have our new bathroom flooring fitted with confidence of the flooring and any damage done from the leaks. Would highly recommend them to anyone.10 Efficient and professional, friendly and straightforward

We needed a prompt survey on a property which we were interested in. Fran was very helpful and the survey was conducted the following week. Toby produced the report the same week which highlighted issues saving us further expense and worry.Verified reviewerJob location: PL20
