About Cooper and Withycombe Ltd
Engineering Excellence Rooted in Guildford
We are Cooper & Withycombe, a long-established independent construction consultancy. From our base in Guildford, we have spent years building a reputation for technical precision and reliable advice across Surrey and the South East.
Whether you are a private homeowner planning a renovation, a commercial developer, or a public sector body managing large-scale infrastructure, we provide the structural and civil engineering expertise needed to bring your project to life. Our approach is built on long-term relationships; a significant portion of our work comes from personal recommendations and repeat clients who trust our independent perspective.
Preserving the Past with Modern Technology
We have a particular passion for the South East’s architectural heritage. Our team specialises in the repair and refurbishment of listed buildings and historical structures, working closely with bodies like English Heritage and Local Planning Authorities to ensure sensitive conservation.
To provide the most accurate data possible, we have integrated Licensed Drone Surveying into our workflow. This allows us to inspect hard-to-reach roofs and high-level masonry on historic sites without the immediate need for expensive scaffolding, saving our clients time and money during the initial appraisal phase.
