Joanna Foster of Surveys 4 Homes

I found Survey4Homes through Google, and I'm glad I chose Jo's services for my new home. She is truly an independent surveyor, and right from the beginning I knew I made the right choice: she explained in detail what would be checked, what wouldn't and what is important when it comes to checking for damp. She sent us the survey report a day earlier than promised, and everything was extremely well-explained and indicated, including details in the photos of where we need to make improvements. We are extremely satisfied with the service provided by Survey4Homes, and wholeheartedly recommend Jo's services for anyone looking for a professional, independent damp surveyor.

Jo conducted a damp and timber survey for me - she was very efficient and offered a detailed report in a timely manner. I would definitely recommend using this company.

An absolutely brilliant service. Jo was efficient from beginning to end, answering my calls and emails straight away. She was professional and friendly throughout, and provided us we an excellent in detail report. I would 100% recommend this company to other customers.

Jo was prompt in her responses to us, got us booked in very quickly and provided a very in depth report of our survey which was easy to understand. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Jo again! Thank you for all of your help.

Researched lots of damp specialists in order to find an independent one, and Jo came out on top. Great communication and a comprehensive, detailed report with recommendations and an idea of costs. She was also happy to answer follow up questions. Would definitely recommend.

Jo conducted a survey after my initial surveyor noted elevated damp levels. From start to finish Jo was professional, transparent and informative. She advised on what practical steps would need to be taken to help me determine if the property was worth buying! Can’t recommend enough!!

Jo was fantastic start to finish with our damp survey. Her detailed reports are excellent, and her customer service is great too. Recommend!

We would highly recommend Survey4Homes. Jo was an absolute pleasure. Responded almost immediately with a qoute after a query was submitted, was swift in booking the survey and worked really hard to get our report back to us swiftly. Jo's communication was fantastic throughout. She gave us a call straight after the visit to give us a topline summary of findings. She then offered to call us again once the report was sent. The report was extremely detailed, highlighting all areas of concern, without scaremongering. Jo suggested causes for damp and broke down potential costs to resolve these issues. Jo's pricing was extremely reasonable for the service provided and absoultly worth investing in.

Jo was fab - very chill but very professional. Assessed my damp cupboards and provided easy, practical solutions that won't cost the earth. Would absolutely recommend her.

Jo was absolutely lovely and very thorough.We hired Jo after a level 3 building survey highlighted high damp readings. I really appreciate her quick responses and particularly a short call after the inspection to provide a quick summary. The report itself was very easy to understand and it explains steps to take to resolve the issue which was very helpful.

Excellent, communicative, effecient! Thanks Jo

It's been a great pleasure dealing with Jo. She's down-to-earth, friendly and extremely competent, and as she isn't attached to any companies that carry out damp-proofing works her advice is independent and reliable. Her report was provided promptly, it's clear, direct, no-nonsense and free of jargon, and her recommendations are sensible and straightforward. Just what we wanted.

Very glad to have landed on this surveyor who travelled some distance to undertake my survey. Contacted her regarding damp / wet staining on my loft beams . Joanna conducted a very thorough inspection providing me with a comprehensive verbal and written report and recommendations to put right. Her written survey and feedback on the day identified the source of my problem and also hitherto not known woodworm infestation . A knowledgeable professional who knows her stuff, highly recommend her services.

Contacted Jo after our survey had brought up a couple of damp patches that required further investigation. She has been incredibly generous with her time and expertise throughout the whole process, and confirmed an extra point of penetrating damp that the survey missed. Her report was incredibly detailed and easy to process, with clear steps for what to do next. Will absolutely be coming back to her for an future issues.

We contacted Jo after our buyers’ Level 3 survey raised concerns about possible damp. We wanted an independent assessment to clearly understand the issue and its extent, and Jo delivered exactly that. She explained everything in a way that was thorough yet easy to follow, and completed the report promptly within the timeframe she set. We now feel much clearer about the situation and reassured moving forward. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Jo again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a detailed and professional damp survey.

Very highly recommend Survey 4 Homes. We needed a specialist damp survey following a level 2 survey on a flat we're buying. Jo organised a site visit very quickly, investigated several issues in one go, and provided a comprehensive and clear update over the phone on the day and a written report very soon after. The report was really detailed and clarified so many things for us. Buying a house can be overwhelming but Jo helped us feel reassured, informed, and clear on next steps. It was such a relief to feel we could speak to someone who could help us properly understand the issues. Getting a survey from Survey 4 Homes has felt like the best investment we have made so far in our home-buying process. Really excellent service.

I contacted Jo after a Level 2 survey identified some potential damp issues. From the outset, she was personable, transparent, and genuinely kind. After visiting the property, Jo took the time to call and clearly explain her findings, then followed up with a detailed report the very next day. She clearly takes real pride in her work and never makes you feel like just another customer. Warm, knowledgeable, and thorough, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jo to anyone looking for a damp and timber specialist.

From the very first minute, it has been an absolute pleasure dealing with Jo. She is a truly professional, trustworthy, and independent surveyor who clearly knows her field inside out — but what really sets her apart is how she treats her clients. Jo takes the time to explain everything clearly and honestly, in a friendly, human, and reassuring way, without ever being patronising or dismissive. She combines technical expertise with empathy and clarity, which is incredibly valuable when dealing with something as stressful as damp issues during a property purchase. I would not hesitate to call her again — a thousand times if needed — and I can recommend her without the slightest hesitation. Surveyors like Jo are rare, and we genuinely feel very lucky to have found her. Highly recommended

We would highly recommend Survey 4 Homes. Communication was excellent throughout. Service very professional. Survey 4 Homes provided an experienced surveyor who was not only thoroughly acquainted and skilled, but one who took the time to explain the process and possible outcomes of the survey to us in detail before, during and after inspection. A detailed report was then provided in a timely manner. Our experience of Survey 4 Homes was excellent.

Highly recommended. Jo came and did a survey of our property to investigate source of moisture and identified several issues immediately with great recommendations on how to rectify. The report was high quality as was the friendly service and we were happy with the fees charged. Best surveyor we have ever used.

I contacted Jo as needed an independent damp survey on a wall in my house. She was very pleasant and explained the issues & remedies in great detail on the day, and followed that with an email of her findings. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.

Great service, very thorough. Highly recommend.

I contacted Surveys4Homes as tenants in a property I rent out said that they had damp within the property. I was able to quickly and easily book a survey with Jo who I met with the tenants at the property. To say I have been educated regards my property is an understatement! Jo completed the survey and was brilliant with my tenant - turns out it isn’t damp but Mould due to lack of proper heating and ventilation. My tenants and I have been given advice regards to this and I have also been given options for how I can help prevent this in future. An A⭐️ service giving honest advice. Having expected to be given bad (costly) news I am very relieved. Thanks again Jo.
