With almost 20 years’ experience as a surveyor, he has carried out  surveys on thousands of houses, hundreds of Listed Buildings and won a heritage award for an extension to a Listed Building. Specialising in Listed and older buildings, he has vast experience on defects in theses type of properties and his surveys are always thorough but with a concise summary to help clients make decisions. Other surveying practices often bring David in as a Consultant when there is a complicated Listed Building Survey needed.

He has overseen the conversion of Listed barns to holiday lets, undertaken building surveys on all types of building including Hotels, Oast houses and the Grade I Listed Sheffield Park House and has been commissioned by Local Councils to report on the condition of their public buildings.

Before Bea and Belle came along, travelling included trekking wild gorillas in the Congo, horse riding through caiman infested waters in Brazil, a fly drive across the Southern States of USA and archaeological tours of Egypt and Rome.
