Brik Surveyors Ltd

30 Years of Property Expertise in the West Country

We are a family-run firm led by Peter Ellicock BA (Hons) AssocRICS, a RICS-qualified surveyor and registered valuer. With over three decades in the banking and property sectors—including 22 years specifically serving Cornwall and Devon—we offer a rare combination of national professional standards and deep-rooted local insight.

Specialists in Heritage and Cob Construction

Buying a property in the South West often means dealing with unique challenges. We specialise in:

• Listed Buildings: We go beyond standard inspections to identify inappropriate past alterations (like cement render on breathable structures) and heritage-specific defects.
• Cob Construction: We understand the pathology of traditional West Country materials and how they should be maintained.
• Non-Standard Homes: From modern park homes to historic timber frames, we have the expertise to assess what others might miss.

Jargon-Free Advice You Can Actually Use

We believe a survey shouldn't be a confusing document full of "surveyor-speak." Our clients value us because we provide:

1. Detailed Explanations: We explain findings in plain English without "dumbing down" the technical reality.
2. Post-Survey Support: We are always happy to jump on a call to discuss recommendations and help you progress your purchase.
3. Comprehensive Reporting: Whether it’s a Level 2 Homebuyer Survey or a full Level 3 Building Survey, our reports are thorough, user-friendly, and actionable.

"Peter clearly explained every aspect of the detailed survey he conducted, giving us full confidence in our next steps. His communication was prompt and friendly throughout."

Beyond Residential: Valuations and Commercial Services

Our expertise extends to professional valuations and commercial assessments. As RICS Registered Valuers, we provide "Red Book" valuations for a variety of purposes, alongside Commercial Reinstatement Valuations and Expert Witness services.

We take real pride in our work, ensuring every client feels confident and informed before making one of the biggest financial decisions of their lives. Whether you are a first-time buyer or an experienced investor, we provide the clarity you need to move forward.
