Ian Lumby was of great help and went to extra lengths to accommodate the very specific requirements of a unique problem. His efforts put us in the position of being able to regain the lost momentum on our longstanding project in just a matter of weeks. We are very grateful for this.

Thorough, efficient, honest & helpful! I feel so fortunate to have happened across Barratts; just a few days after ringing to enquire about their services, Ian arrived to survey my property. This was in relation to an ongoing wrangle with insurance about potential subsidence, and I was at the end of my tether.

Ian was exactly what I needed – calm, thorough, helpful. He had a palpable aura of integrity and was very happy to engage with my questions and thoughts. His subsequent report provided the reassurance that I needed, in that there were no signs of subsidence found and that my house was structurally sound. This has lifted a huge weight off my shoulders and I am now able purchase buildings insurance again.

I feel so grateful for their quick and thorough assistance, and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this company: they would be my first port of call for any other structural queries.

I have recently taken service from Barrat associates. The Structural engineer was really educated and professional he answered all my queries and management team helped me to get quick report earlier than expected It saved lots of time and money. I would recommend everyone to go for it.

Thank you! Ian attended our house to inspect a a wall and confirm if it was load-bearing or not (it was!) and advise on the removal of a chimney breast. He answered all questions I had, inspected everything twice and gave suggestions on the possible solutions. We then received the steel beam calculation the next day.
Would definitely recommend and will use again if we ever need to.

Positive experience Ian conducted our review and drew up a report in good time. He was incredibly knowledgable and made a real effort to explain requirements on the day. Once the report was produced, Ian continued to help with further clarifications to ensure full understanding on our part. A great experience.

Structural house survey. James, from Barratt Associates, surveyed our house today because we were concerned by all the cracks that have appeared over the past year. We were given excellent advice on the causes of the cracks, were reassured that there is not a subsidence issue, and given a list of recommendations to correct the defects. Can’t ask for better than that. In addition, from my initial telephone enquiry, James carried out a survey within 24hrs…brilliant.

I wanted a building inspection following a survey on a house and a lack of information from the sellers. I initially tried another company who were slow to respond which caused delays in getting a suitable appointment. Frustrated and eager to get the inspection done Barratt Associates got it booked in and the report back to me within 1 week. I am extremely grateful for their work to get this done quickly as I had expressed this was the final requirement before I agreed an exchange date. Would highly recommend.

Very good service, great communication and good value for money. Ian was very knowledgeable and friendly. He gave me detailed advice in a language I could understand and put my mind at ease. I would highly recommend them.

Barratt Associates Structural Engineering Very impressed in all respects with the structural surveyor who visited us. He was punctual, efficient, friendly and highly professional. He was also meticulously careful to ensure that his survey was correct in every detail and took care to ensure I fully understood his findings and recommendations. He clearly knew his work and put forward ideas that will save me from incurring what would otherwise have been considerable expenditure. It was a pleasure to meet him both professionally and socially. A perfect gentleman as well as a highly-qualified and knowledgeable surveyor.

Quick and Efficient Contacted Barratt Associates Llanarth after being let down badly by a Company in Carmarthen who sat on job for weeks! Barratt Associates did a site visit, calculations and spoke to our builder with his recommendations all within a week. Steel frame they recommended was in and fitted perfectly within two weeks.

Great Service Excellent quick service, throughly recommend.

Would use again Fast and efficient service that was great value for money.

Most definitely recommend. James gave us nothing but professional and prompt assistance, the service we received was amazing. Thank you so much for all your help and advice, it’s much appreciated!

I needed a structural engineer following a home survey report on a house we are intending to purchase. Hoping not to prolong our chain too much I came across Barratt Associates whom I contacted for a quote. They were very professional and prompt in doing this which gave me the confidence to go with them. From the outset our Structural Engineer James was on the ball and was out to assess the property within days. James addressed all my concerns straight away over the phone followed up by a comprehensive report.I would throughly recommend them, great service provided.

We were desperate for a structural engineers report for our property after Nationwide refused to mortgage the property without it. We are based in Bristol and local structural engineers had wait lists of over 8 weeks so after seeing so many great reviews of Barratt Associates we sent a messaging hoping they would consider coming to Bristol to carry out the report and luckily they covered the area. James who completed our survey was really friendly, insightful and was able to fit us in less than a week from when we called. I could not recommend him more highly.We also had some administrative issues on the report that Nationwide would not accept and Bill and James got back to us straight away with all requests and amended the report in minutes each time to help us get our mortgage.Thank you James and Bill!

Called back within minutes after i left a message. Very polite, informative and extremely professional. We had a previous engineer come and we werent comfortable so as a second opinion they were great, it was clear that safety was paramount.

Barratt’s were great to work with they provided clear advice to us regarding the removal of a structural wall in our home and we received the calculations need really quickly. I would definitely recommend them

Having explained my situation with an A frame huge repair/problem, I was immediately put at ease by what Barrat Associates can do for me and the assurances given to safety and very reasonable cost for their services.

Quick and easy I needed a structural engineers report for my house purchase. Barrett Associates were able to help with a really quick turnaround and gave me exactly what I needed with no extra fuss.

We initially used ‘Barratt Associates’ on the recommendation of a client and found the service provided to be professional, efficient and competitively priced. N & D would have no hesitation in making the same recommendation to anyone requiring the guidance of an engineering consultancy.

Francois provided an extremely rapid and very professional response to my request regarding structural supports needed as part of my house renovation. He was extremely knowledgeable and his visits and subsequent drawings & calculations gave both myself and my builder great confidence. I would highly recommend his work.

Independent and expert We were worried about cracks along the ceiling/wall joint and whether we’d need to replace the roof. Ian visited and gave top notch expert advice including how best to deal with the problem. I believe that if we’d gone straight to a roofer it would have cost us dearly but we were reassured despite it looking back the rectification work did not need to be severe. If you have concerns about the structure of your property get these guys out for an independent expert opinion before you start any work for peace of mind. Worth the money and could even save you an expensive experience. Thanks, Matthew.

great service great service. quick and hassel-free calculations. thank you

Excellent structural engineering advice Barratt Associates were really impressive in terms of their level of communication and their availability/wait time for visiting our property, especially just before Christmas. The breadth and detail of advice provided was excellent and went above and beyond what was requested. Finally the price seemed very competitive and was lower than expected. Highly recommended!

My Mum used this company to calculate for a beam to put the top stage of the double extension up. Chris and his engineer Ian were absolutely brilliant – Mum’s words. Site visit and calculations done all within 5 days, she wishes she used Barratt Associates initially, excellent service, outstanding customer communication and very good prices. Would highly recommend. Thanks for all your assistance. Tracy

From appointing Barrett Associates, through delivery and final report, the service we received was first class. The structural survey on our property was concise, and provided excellent guidance and considerations that provided peace of mind at a critical point in our purchase. Rhydian not only completed the work to a high standard but also provided excellent communication throughout the whole process.
