We are a professional chartered surveyor business built on a solid foundation of expert knowledge, transparency, and unwavering dedication. For over 30 years, we have been providing expertise across the full range of building consultancy services, fostering long-standing relationships with clients who value our personal touch.

Three Decades of Surveying Excellence in London and Kent

Our commitment to excellence has been at the forefront of our operations since we opened our doors. While we uphold traditional professional values, we continuously embrace innovation and technology to keep our services cutting-edge.

We aren't just a corporate entity; we are a team of dedicated professionals who take pride in being approachable and well-organised. Whether you are managing a prestigious refurbishment in the City or need expert advice on a residential defect in Kent, we bring the same level of meticulous attention to every instruction.

Led by Industry Experts

We believe that great companies come from great people. Our team is led by highly qualified professionals who are recognised leaders in their respective fields:

• Stuart Birrell FRICS: Director with decades of high-level experience.
• Sam Field MRICS: Director and Head of Construction Related Matters.
• Amanda Taber BSc (Hons): Director of Landlord & Tenant Matters.

From Defect Diagnosis to Major Refurbishments

We pack a huge punch for our stature, delivering technical quality that rivals much larger firms. We specialise in identifying the underlying causes of building problems—such as damp, cracking, and water ingress—providing clear, practical recommendations rather than just treating the symptoms.

Our expertise extends to:

1. Contract Administration: Keeping construction projects moving, under control, and on budget.
2. Neighbourly Matters: Navigating the complexities of the Party Wall etc. Act and securing access licences for scaffolding or crane oversail.
3. Employer’s Agent: Protecting your interests and managing contracts to ensure projects finish on time.

"Murray Birrell is a first-class traditional building consultancy... They hold extremely high standards of quality for technical delivery as well as their communication."
