• St Albans Surveyors – Trusted Building Surveyors with Local Expertise

  • St Albans Surveyors – Specialist Property Advice from Local Experts

    St Albans offers a rich and varied housing stock, from elegant Georgian townhouses and Victorian terraces to 1930s semis, post-war housing, and sleek contemporary developments. At Prowle & Co. Building Surveyors, we understand the planning constraints, construction quirks, and renovation challenges that often accompany properties in this historic city.

    As experienced, RICS-regulated building surveyors in St Albans, we provide reliable, independent advice tailored to each individual property. Whether you’re buying within a conservation area, investigating a structural concern, or assessing the quality of recent works, our reports are written with clarity, technical accuracy, and local insight.

    We regularly carry out surveys in St Albans city centre, Marshalswick, Clarence Park, Fleetville, and the surrounding villages—including Redbourn, Sandridge, and London Colney. Our local knowledge allows us to spot common regional issues such as:

    • Inadequate roof support in older loft conversions

    • Damp ingress in poorly ventilated solid-wall properties

    • Timber decay in basements and subfloors

    • Cavity wall defects and failed render in post-war homes

    We work with homebuyers, landlords, and property investors who want trusted advice—not generic tick-box reports. Every inspection is carried out by a qualified building surveyor, with no outsourcing or shortcuts.
