About Cockrams Surveying Ltd

Navigating the Cornish Property Market with Confidence

Buying or managing property in Cornwall requires more than just a standard survey; it requires an intimate understanding of local construction, from coastal cottages to modern developments. At Cockrams Surveying Limited, we are an independent practice of Chartered Building Surveyors dedicated to providing clear, jargon-free advice that puts your interests first.

Whether you are a first-time buyer needing an RICS Level 2 Survey or an investor requiring a specialist Mundic Block Test, our team brings decades of boots-on-the-ground experience to every instruction. We serve clients across the county, from Penzance and St. Ives to Launceston and Bude.

Decades of Local Expertise & Professional Integrity

Our strength lies in our people. Led by Alan Alker (MRICS), who has over 30 years of experience in the construction industry and grew up right here in Cornwall, we offer a level of local insight that national firms simply cannot match.

Alan’s deep knowledge of Cornish building types is complemented by our diverse team, including Laurence (MRICS), who specialises in project management, and Nicole, who brings extensive construction coordination experience to our Truro-based office.
