Customer Reviews
Very knowledgeable party wall expert
Used Cook for a rear extension affecting our shared wall. Very thorough schedule of condition carried out before works. Clear communication throughout. Award took slightly longer than expected but the quality of the documentation was excellent.
Fixed fee, no surprises
Really appreciated the fixed fee approach. Knew exactly what we were paying from the start. Notices served promptly, award prepared efficiently. Neighbours were difficult but everything was handled very professionally.
Saved us from a dispute
Our neighbours appointed their own surveyor who was being difficult. Cook managed the whole process expertly and we ended up with an agreed surveyor arrangement that saved us significant cost. Excellent service.

Recommended by our architect — worth it
Our architect recommended Cook for the party wall notices on our extension. Extremely professional and knowledgeable. Sorted out a tricky situation with our neighbour's separate surveyor efficiently. Would definitely use again.
