Led by Mike Lewis, a Fellow of RICS with 13 years in the building trades and 20 years in consultancy, we provide expert building surveys and specialist party wall advice for everything from Somerset bungalows to £27m commercial developments.
We aren't just surveyors; we are building engineers with a deep-rooted understanding of how structures actually work. Based in Street, Somerset, Aardman Associates has been the go-to professional firm for homeowners and commercial clients across the South West since 2004.
Led by Mike Lewis — The "Surveyor’s Surveyor"
Our firm is owned and managed by Mike Lewis, a professional whose credentials speak for themselves. Mike is a Fellow of the RICS, CABE, ICWCI, and the Faculty of Party Wall Surveyors.
What sets us apart is Mike’s background: before qualifying as a surveyor, he spent 13 years working directly in the building trades. This "boots on the ground" experience means we don't just spot a defect; we understand the mechanics of why it happened and how to fix it. Today, Mike lectures other surveyors and property professionals on complex party wall matters at RICS and RIBA events.
Unrivalled Expertise in Party Wall Matters
If you are planning an extension or dealing with a neighbour's construction, you need a specialist. We are recognised leaders in the field of the Party Wall etc. Act 1996.
- For Homeowners: We serve notices and act as your named surveyor to protect your property interests.
- For Developers: We have managed party wall matters for projects valued up to £27m.
- For the Profession: Mike is the current Chairman of the Severnside Branch of the Pyramus and Thisbe Club and is frequently selected as a "Third Surveyor" to resolve disputes between other practising surveyors.
Comprehensive Surveys for Every Property Type
Whether you are buying a single-bedroom bungalow in Glastonbury or a commercial shopping centre, our Building Inspection Reports are designed to give you total peace of mind. We use electronic damp meters to test for moisture and provide high-resolution colour photography within our reports to illustrate every point.
"We pride ourselves on reports that are thorough yet readable, featuring a clear executive summary so you can make informed decisions quickly."
