Led by Louise Lumsden: A Personal Approach
Our founder, Louise Lumsden, established Bricks & Mortar Surveys (Wessex) Ltd after years of experience in both the rural and residential sectors. Louise’s vision was simple: to move away from corporate, tick-box reporting and return to a personal, reliable service.
"I aim to be 'by your side' from the first call, through the survey itself, and right up until you get the keys to your new front door."
We are often asked about the dog in our branding. Clova has been by Louise’s side for 12 years—loyal, trustworthy, and dependable. She represents the core values of our business: we are a partner you can rely on throughout the entire buying process.
