Gateley Smithers Purslow Ltd

Solving the UK’s Most Complex Property Challenges

We aren't just surveyors; we are a multi-disciplinary powerhouse. Since 1978, we have built a reputation for tackling the building issues others find too daunting. Whether you are a homeowner dealing with a major insurance claim or a commercial developer needing structural engineering, we bring a wealth of technical knowledge to every project.

Our goal is simple: to be the firm you turn to for solving complex building, construction, and property issues. We combine technical rigour with a straightforward, understanding approach that puts your needs first.

From Rutland Roots to National Reach

Our story began in 1978 when Norman Smithers and Graham Purslow opened our first office in Oakham. What started as a specialist engineering firm quickly evolved. By the 1980s, we were recognized as the UK’s leading subsidence experts, a legacy that continues today as we serve major insurers and private clients nationwide from our Glaston headquarters and regional hubs.

In 2022, we joined the Gateley legal and professional services group, further strengthening our ability to provide comprehensive support across the entire property lifecycle.
