Leo Horsfield Surveying

Whether you are purchasing your first home, managing a commercial portfolio, or planning a complex renovation, we understand that property is your most significant investment. At Leo Horsfield Surveying, we combine the technical precision of structural engineering with the detailed insight of chartered surveying to give you a complete picture of your property's health.

The Advantage of Surveyors who are also Engineers

What sets us apart is our dual expertise. Founded in 2006, our practice was built on the belief that a survey is only as good as the structural knowledge behind it. Our Director, Leo Horsfield (MRICS MCABE FCIOB FFPWS), began his career in structural engineering before moving into building surveying. This means when we spot a crack or a damp patch, we don't just tell you it's there—we tell you why it's happening and how to fix it, often saving you the cost of a secondary specialist report.

Specialists in Listed and Historic Properties

We have a particular passion for the unique challenges of period architecture. Led by Simon Horsfield (Assoc RICS), our team specialises in defect analysis for historical and unique properties. We understand the nuances of traditional construction methods and the conservation requirements of listed buildings, ensuring your heritage asset is protected for the future.

Quality Guaranteed: 100% In-House Expertise

We believe that accountability is key to a professional service. That is why we never subcontract our work. Every inspection is carried out by a member of our dedicated in-house team. This ensures that the high standards we’ve maintained for nearly two decades are applied to every single report we produce.

"Our mission is to provide the clarity and confidence you need to make informed property decisions, delivered with the personal touch of a family-run firm."
