Cameron at Peter Barry Surveyors provided an excellent service throughout our PWA process with our neighbours. He was very responsive, kept me informed at every stage, and explained everything clearly in a way that was easy to understand. His professional approach and reassuring manner gave me confidence from start to finish. I really appreciated the time he took to answer my questions and ensure I understood the process. I would highly recommend Cameron and Peter Barry Surveyors to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, reliable, and professional surveyor.

We used Peter Barry for a Party Wall Agreement. Highly recommended. Excellent service from start to finish. We had overlooked need for PWA, and needed urgent help. James Merewether could not have been more helpful: explaining what had to be done (more than AI had told me!), and promptly responding to our various calls and emails to get the initial notice served quickly. He then did the condition survey, wrote it up promptly, liaised with the neighbour’s surveyor despite James being on holiday, and then served the Final Award. A pleasure to deal with a true professional.

Another excellent service provided by Callum and Peter Barry. From start to finish, communication was outstanding, with regular updates and clear explanations throughout the entire process. Callum works exceptionally hard and goes above and beyond to ensure everything runs smoothly. What can often be a complicated and stressful process was made incredibly simple thanks to his knowledge, professionalism, and attention to detail. He was always available to answer questions, responded promptly, and made sure we understood every step along the way. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Callum to anyone looking for a reliable, efficient, and highly professional party wall surveyor. Thank you again for another excellent service.
