We recently used Elite Building Inspectors, and they were great to deal with from start to finish. It was easy to set up the appointment and they were extremely thorough during the inspection, which was done at short notice. They also spent considerable time on the phone talking us through their report, so you get much better service than just words on paper at the end.
