P L Carey & Co

37 Beverley Road, Bromley, Kent, BR2 8QE, Bromley
Led by Philip Carey with over 30 years of experience, we provide pragmatic, RICS-regulated surveying. From complex Party Wall awards to detailed building surveys, we combine a trade background with professional expertise to protect your property interests in Bromley and across Kent.
At PL Carey & Co, we believe that property advice should be as practical as it is professional. Based in Bromley, our practice was founded in 2013 by Philip Carey, a Chartered Building Surveyor with a career spanning over three decades. Whether you are a homeowner planning an extension or a commercial managing agent overseeing a portfolio, we provide the technical clarity you need to move forward.
A Pragmatic Approach Rooted in Experience
What sets us apart is the breadth of our perspective. Our principal, Philip Carey, brings a unique, rounded approach to every instruction, drawing on a diverse professional history that ensures we see the details others might miss:
- 30+ Years of Experience: Philip qualified as a Chartered Building Surveyor in 1987.
- Trade Background: We possess a real-world understanding of how buildings are constructed and maintained.
- Diverse Expertise: Our experience includes years spent with the Territorial Army, housing associations, and leading private practices.
- RICS Regulated: As a regulated firm, we are committed to the highest levels of professional service and client satisfaction.
Specialists in Party Wall Matters
We were primarily established to handle the complexities of the Party Wall etc. Act 1996. We act for Building Owners, Adjoining Owners, or as the Agreed Surveyor to ensure legal compliance and minimize conflict between neighbours.
As members of the Faculty of Party Wall Surveyors and the Pyramus & Thisbe Club, we are at the forefront of party wall excellence. We handle everything from pre-commencement appraisals and the service of formal notices to the negotiation of Awards and the preparation of detailed Schedules of Condition.
Detailed Building Surveys & Defect Diagnosis
Buying a property is a significant investment, and our full building surveys (formerly known as structural surveys) provide the peace of mind you need. We deliver comprehensive reports that advise on property condition, dampness testing, and external grounds. Unlike generic reports, we can also offer budget cost advice for repairs to help you negotiate with confidence.
Managing Your Project from Concept to Completion
If you are undertaking repair or maintenance work, we can take the stress out of the process through Contract Administration. We act as your professional representative, handling:
- Contractor Selection: Finding the right team for the job.
- Tendering: Managing the bidding process to ensure competitive rates.
- Site Oversight: Administering the contract through to final certification.
