Based in Chipping Campden, we are independent Chartered Building Surveyors with a 'hands-on' construction background. From historic Cotswold stone conservation to modern commercial project management, we provide technical expertise with a personal, approachable touch.
From Cotswold Stone to Modern Innovation
Based in the historic market town of Chipping Campden, Gooding Chartered Surveyors is an independent firm deeply rooted in the landscape of Gloucestershire, the South West, and the Midlands. We aren't just consultants; we are technical experts who understand the DNA of property, whether it’s a centuries-old listed cottage or a modern commercial asset.
We believe that the best surveyors are those who understand how buildings are actually put together. That’s why we lead with a practical, "hands-on" philosophy that informs every survey, design, and project we undertake.
A Team with Practical Pedigree
Our founder, Tom Gooding BA (Hons) MSc MRICS, brings a unique perspective to the firm. Having started his career at a practical level within the construction industry, he possesses an innate ability to engage with contractors and spot issues that others might miss. This "boots on the ground" experience is shared by our entire technical team:
- Kevin Kendal (MCIAT): Our Chartered Architectural Technologist.
- Charlotte Freeston (ACIOB): Our skilled Architectural Technician.
- Kieran Long (AIIRSM): Our Junior Building Surveyor.
When we aren't on-site, you’ll likely find us enjoying the very landscapes we work in—Tom is an avid mountain biker and kayaker who brings that same energy and exploration to his professional life.
Specialists in Historic & Listed Buildings
Having "cut our teeth" on traditional Cotswold stone properties, we have developed a deep-seated passion for heritage conservation. We work closely with local authority conservation departments to ensure that repairs, restorations, and adaptations are carried out lawfully and with the sympathetic craftsmanship they deserve.
"We treat every historic project as a responsibility to the future, ensuring traditional materials and modern standards live in harmony."
