Essex
"Exceptional Level 3 survey experience with Andrew and Gavin. Our property had multiple complications ..PRC history, roof concerns, vermin activity in the loft, structural questions and several areas needing deeper investigation. Andrew handled everything with real professionalism and patience. His survey was extremely thorough, detailed and clear, and he didn't rush anything. He even sent the full report late at night so we wouldn't be delayed, and then took the time to explain every important point calmly. The level of detail he provided helped us understand the true condition of the property and make informed decisions without panic. Gavin supported the process from the start, kept communication smooth, and made sure all our concerns were addressed properly. Andrew's thoroughness and clarity genuinely made a stressful process feel manageable. Highly recommended."
"Thanks for helping to do the Level 2 survey and valuation of the property I intended to purchase. I appreciate the prompt delivery of the homebuyer report by the surveyor Andrew Gibson and I am very grateful for that. The report was detailed and promptly delivered."
"Very detailed survey report detailing multiple areas of helpful interest as a prospective buyer to focus on. Also helpfully provided general non-binding guidance on repair costings which I found very useful. Very satisfied by the service."

Stanford Le Hope
"Excellent experience with Gibsons Surveyors. I required a RICS valuation for repaying my Help to Buy loan and they handled everything professionally from start to finish. Clear communication, fast turnaround and a very fair price. If you need a qualified surveyor in the Essex area, I highly recommend them."
Basildon
"We’ve actually had two Level 3 surveys carried out by Andrew Gibson at Gibson Surveyors and I honestly can’t recommend him highly enough. He is absolutely brilliant — professional, thorough and incredibly knowledgeable. The first survey he completed quite literally saved us from making a very expensive mistake. The level of detail in the report was outstanding and highlighted serious issues we would never have spotted ourselves. It gave us the confidence to walk away from what would have been a costly decision. The second survey was just as impressive. Andrew was responsive to all our queries, took the time to explain everything clearly and produced the report very quickly. Both reports were extremely detailed, well-structured and easy to understand. Amazing service from start to finish — we’re so grateful for his expertise and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone needing a survey done."
London
"Professional and very knowledgeable. They were very helpful with the fact we were running out of time to complete the survey, and arrived on a weekend to complete it, and then were really supportive and knowledgeable in dealing with solicitors regarding a statutory nuisance to our property. Thank you so much for your friendly and professional advice."
Devon
"We recently had a survey and valuation carried out by Andrew, and we were extremely impressed with the service provided. He was very thorough, professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. Andrew was reliable, communicative, and made everything straightforward and stress-free from start to finish. We would strongly recommend both Andrew and Gibsons Surveyors to anyone looking for a dependable and professional service. We will definitely be using them again in the future."
"I had a great experience using Andrew Gibson for my home survey. We spoke beforehand and I was able to ask specific questions regarding the survey and what I needed. He was incredibly helpful and answered all my questions and made notes on things I wanted extra attention placed on. His report was amazing and very thorough! It contained a deep analysis of the property, with multiple pictures giving visual representations of his findings and recommendations. He gave detailed recommendations and I was able to send the report to my builder who could automatically see what works needed to be carried out. From start to finish this was a quick and easy process! I will definitely be using Andrew again for any further purchases and recommending him to friends and family."
Andrew and team have been extremely efficient, quick and professional in carrying the inspection of the property. This toped up with an excellent and supportive communication throughout. Thank you!

Fast and very thorough survey. Would definitely recommend

I contacted Gibsons Surveyors as I needed a property valued for probate purposes. My first contact was with Andrew a lovely guy who was very respectful at what was a very difficult time as my mum had just passed away. He explained clearly how the property would be valued and the turn around time with getting the report back to me. From start to finish the whole process took 4 days which included phone call, house visit and the report which I was very impressed with. I received a follow up email to ensure I'd received the report and that I understand everything as it was very detailed. Very professional service, price was competitive and would definitely recommend Gibsons.
