What our clients say

 

{Just wanted to provide a bit of feedback on HDS’s report (Please see attached). They provide a detailed account of the alleged defects and provide a list of recommended works, SOR priced and provide a well formatted selection of photographs as evidence. Looking at the invoice they also provided, they offer value for money too when it comes to getting reports completed using this method. Out of all the SJE/EWR reports I have received, HDS’s have been the best by a good margin. Many Thanks,
