    Easy to work with and thorough survey

    Posted 04 May

    Great experience! James emailed me a really detailed response to all my queries, making sure to address all the concerns I had rather than just sending a quote. Billy’s name is on the company and he’s the one who will actually be completing the survey, which says a lot. We went for the level 3 survey and received 100+ pages of really thorough and detailed info. There was so much that he found and he included lots of additional care/maintenance tips. We had a post survey phone call, and he talked us through it with patience, honesty and in more detail. We were impressed with the whole process.

Welcome to my profile.


My name is Billy Clarke MCIOB, AssocRICS.


I am a Sole practitioner, Independent Surveyor.


I have been in the Residential sector for 21+ years now.


I am the owner of B.C Surveying Hertfordshire Ltd.


I’m also a chartered Builder with my own construction company that builds new and large extensions and carries out structural works.


I believe this allows me to offer superior knowledge and expertise in my surveying for that extra depth and detail for my clients.


I carry out many types of surveys for clients, these include:


  • Condition survey & reports for cracks, damp, roofing & Leak damage etc.
  • RICS Homebuyers Level 2 & Level 3 surveys with reports.
  • Drainage CCTV Jetting surveys.
  • Drone Surveys of chimney, lead flashings, gutterings, roof coverings with a report.
  • Snag Lists.

Contract administration Includes:


  • Help selecting a contractor
  • Help with selecting & signing JCT Contracts
  • Valuations Weekly/Fortnightly/Monthly or as required.
  • Issuing of payment Certificates for completed works to British standards.
  • Issuing of Pay Less notices.
  • Variations inc valuing these and negotiating with Contractors/Sub-Contractors.
  • Release of retention.
  • Dilapidations for Landlords (Residential)


If it’s there to find, I’ll find it trust me on that.


My Job is to help clients be informed to make decisions on their investments, giving you a clearer picture of the condition and what you're buying.


It's the same as buying a car you want to pay to service it, a property is no different just larger in value, so don’t commit to such a large investment without a professional.


I can arrange access directly on your behalf with the agent dealing with the sale.


My level 3 reports do include a follow up call to answer questions about the property.


Please call today to discuss your requirements and book a survey that’s worth getting.
