About

My name is Tony Swainston. I am a qualified Building Surveyor in Basingstoke, a father to 3 girls, and set up my own practice in 2005. I manage to balance this responsibility with my other job of chief school run taxi driver!

I have more than 35 years’ experience. I have undertaken work as a Technical Assessor to trainee candidates and a site auditor checking upon other surveyors for compliance.

I provide Building Surveys and Specific Defect reports (eg. Damp investigations). My reports are written in an easy to understand format and likely include drone photographs of the property clearly identifying any visual defects.

I cover West London, the Home Counties, and surrounding areas. However, all areas are considered, and I have carried out work from Newcastle to Cornwall.

I also offer my clients the chance to join me for the last half an hour of the survey to discuss any defects or health and safety issues that I have identified, or to discuss any costs of improvement work. 07957 870 440

Excellent. Extra information over and above the call of duty.

I have used Tony to carry out a survey for a house I wanted to buy. I am a first time buyer. The advise was very good and helpful. I would recommend Tony and use him again.

I have used Tony twice and can thoroughly recommend him. Tony is passionate about his work. He is very thorough. I like 2 additional particular things about him. 1. After he has done a survey he invites you to walk round the property and shows you what he has found and discuss the implementations. 2. He has a very good knowledge of the building trade and can recommend possible remedies to building problems and give you a rough estimates of the costs.

I used Tony for a comprehensive survey of a property. Responsive, extremely thorough (while remaining practical and pragmatic) and also great to work with. Highly recommended and worth every penny.

We have now used Tony on 2 occassions after reading the reviews on here. I think the fact that we have given him repeat business speaks for itself. Tony is a really friendly, helpful guy. Meeting him at the property towards the end of the survey has always been invaluable and he speaks with authority and knowledge of his subject. He has always been extremely helpful afterwards when I have called to ask for a bit of advice or clarification. His prices are also extremely reasonable and competitive. Thoroughly recommended.

We went onto the Which web site for a surveyor for my daughter. The reports on Tony were very good and so we went ahead. From the time I contacted him he was absolutely fantastic. He does different surveys and recommended the best one for my daughter. He sent information by e mail straight away. The survey he did was fantastic. We were invited to attend for the last 30 minutes so he could go over over his views and show me what he had found. He has a great manner and goes beyond what he has to do. He recommended where to go to sort out any problems, that may have been an organisation or someone to actually do the job. He also did a survey for my son recently and it was just as good. Do not look anywhere else for a surveyor Tony will do a fantastic job for you.
