    Excellent service from a complete professional

    Posted 03 December 2025

    I can't recommend Karim highly enough. He's very responsive and clear in all communications including the initial quote (listing every item covered and associated cost, unlike other companies that i approached), the site visit itself and completion of the report. He answered all questions very clearly and effectively. He's a complete professional and I wouldn't hesitate to use him again.

    Karim is brilliant

    Posted 18 October 2025

    Karim is brilliant. He gave great advice that really helped when buying my property. I’ve sincere gone back to him several times and he’s been extremely responsive and generous with his time. He gave me all the knowledge and confidence I needed for buying my first home. I’ll use his services again, and recommend you do too.

    HIGHLY RECOMMEND

    Posted 13 October 2025

    I had a fantastic experience with Karim at Stay Steel. I required a report from a structural engineer for my mortgage application, and from the beginning he listened to exactly what I needed and advised me and kept me informed along the way. I was even sent the full report quickly, on a weekend, despite the site visit being on a Friday! I highly recommend.

    Friendly helpful and very detailed

    Posted 01 October 2025

    Karim was really quick to reply and very helpful. The job was carried out on a house I was trying to buy and the work was completed quickly with a really fast turn around on the report. The really detailed report I received helped me make the best decision on how to proceed. Karim stayed in touch throughout and made the whole thing painless. I’ll definitely use them again if needed and happy to recommend to anyone needing a structural engineer
