Shaun, SouthendLocal Surveyors Direct is easy to use and convenient for Estimates, although to be aware prices are estimates and you must contact supplier direct to agree final cost. After reading previous feedback we chose David Cunningham. We spoke to David Directly and Colin completed our survey.

We would definitely use them time and time again and I would happily recommend them to all of you wanting a very quick and efficient service.
