"Thank you so much to Neil"

Thank you so much to Neil. He was our agreed surveyor and was very helpful during our house extension project. His commutations were great and was always available whenever we needed him via email/phone. He was quick in replying and was very clear whenever we had a question. I would recommend his service to anyone.

"Great service and fast turnaround"

We engaged Barker & Associates as agreed surveyor for us and our neighbours. The survey Was carried out and awards were issued promptly with no problem at all, and we could carry out our extension. Would recommend.

"I would not reccomend this firm"

I would not reccomend this firm

Neil advises he came to my neighbour's property but had no courtesy to call/knock to state he has come to visit the property. Surely a party wall surveyor 'acting on both sides' should have common courtsey to advise the date at least. Then starting pictures cannot be given because "a crack in the wall" violates GDPR! What a joke.

Waiting on a response from my neighbour to give him the go ahead. Surely the form we both signed is sufficent for this?!

"Excellent customer service"

Colin and John who delivered our dining room chairs could not have been more helpful and professional.

"Incompetent"

Neil Barker was engaged to act on our behalf as a party wall surveyor in respect of loft and rear extension works to be carried out by our neighbour.

At his second call to our property, Neil unequivocally confirmed that cracks in our wall and ceiling had been caused by the neighbour’s works.
Following which Neil states that the neighbours surveyor is not budging !! and in agreement with the neighbour’s surveyor denied any damage had been caused. At the third call, an appointment was made for both party wall surveyors to attend our property. However, Neil failed to show up. Allegedly stuck on another job.

Neil showed no interest in the matter nor did he act in his client’s best interest. I do not and can not recommend Neil Barker and Associates to anyone looking for a party wall surveyor or party wall advice.

"Great communication and excellent…"

Great communication and excellent service. Would highly recommend!

"Top rate firm to deal with"

When we needed a party wall award for ourselves and neighbours for our extension we were very pleased to deal with Neil at Barker and Associates on the matter. All communication via letter or email was very quickly dealt with and the appointment for the survey carried out very quickly. The award was granted within a few days. I would not hesitate to recommend this firm to anyone who needed their services. A top rate service expertly carried out.

"Pleased with Barker Associates prompt…"

Pleased with Barker Associates prompt and professional service Definitely would work with them in the future and highly recommend to others.

"Made my life so much easier!"

Neil contacted me pretty much straightaway when I asked for help via the Nextdoor (neighbour) app and relieved me of my stress immediately. Having him around meant that I didn't need to deal with annoying and difficult neighbours. He gave clear and concise advice and things moved really quickly. He gave an unbeatable price and was always contactable either by phone or email! I would definitely recommend him to others looking for party wall related advice!

"I would recommend this company and Neil…"

I would recommend this company and Neil Barker to anyone looking for advice concerning party wall issues. Neil Barker handled my party wall dispute with my neighbour in a most professional and thoughtful manner for all concerned. He secured for us a party wall award so our build can legally go ahead. I wholeheartedly recommend.
