Silk Sharples Jennings Chartered Surveyors

Very detailed report which has helped us seek out the appropriate contractor to carry out the requisite improvement work.

Grand professional company, highly recommended.

Couldn't have done more for us in our extension planning and application. David was clear in his communication every step of the way, listening to our needs and guiding us through the possibilities and their implications. Felt well looked after and the entire process was smooth and trouble free. Would definitely recommend and use again

Fantastic service!
David Silk at SSJ recently designed plans for an extension for us, and managed the planning application from start to finish. The process ran smoothly throughout, entirely due to the professional, reliable and friendly service I received from David.
The plans were excellent, David understood what we were trying to achieve and used his knowledge & experience to suggest changes, which improved the design immeasurably. We were kept updated regularly during the process and David always delivered on time and exceeded my expectations.
I would recommend David at SSJ to anyone in a heartbeat, clearly expert at what he does and a pleasure to work with.

As a novice to the planning game. It can be daunting to say the least! on friends recommendation my partner and I approached David Silk as our preferred surveyor to plan our home extension. We have found David to be very professional, helpful, easy to talk to. Approachable and considerate to what we thought might have been at times, basic questions. David always listened to our concerns and has assisted with instructing a structural engineer and approved building inspectors. We have no hesitation in recommending David Silk of Silk Sharples Jennings Chartered Surveyors to assist anyone with their building ventures.

Really helpful, David was professional and friendly and has helped us right through the process.

From overseas we bought an old house needing extensive renovation which due to Covid were unable to see it. We engaged Colin to design and manage the renovations and alterations. Despite all our communications being over Zoom etc Colin quickly grasped what we were wanting and developed plans meeting our requirements to retain the character of the house whilst bringing it up to modern standards and complying with all the regulations. and attending to the smallest detail. He obtained us an excellent builder and as they ran in to various and some significant challenges kept us informed and overcame them to great results! Colin handled all the beaurocracy, finances etc and made the whole process stress free for us. Despite significant extra unforseen work being necessary he was able to make savings elsewhere that enabled it to come in pretty much on budget.

Now we have finally seen the house and are living in it we are very pleased with the result. We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Colin.

Professional, reliable and helpful. David Silk recently designed and guided us through planning for a first floor extension, without his guidance I'm convinced we would not have planning permission. The drawings I received were high quality, David thought of everything from head height to space and light. David used his expertise, experience and initiative to liase with the planning office, ensuring an acceptable solution to meet planning requirements could be reached without the need for a lengthy appeal. When required David submitted redraws for my review within hours. David even took the time to contact me to inform me of regulation changes that would effect the build. I could not be happier with the level of service I have received.

I was recommended Dave Silk by a local builder to survey and design an extension to our house. Dave's been extremely helpful and has provided an excellent service. We knew roughly what sort of extension design we were trying to achieve but Dave was able to offer invaluable design advice to improve on this. Their costs have also been very competetive.
Thanks Dave.
