“I commissioned Stephen Hodge Associates Ltd to design and oversee the building of a large two storey extension on to our existing cottage. Following visits from their competitors, I chose to appoint them on the basis of their obvious knowledge, professional approach and innovative design which was sympathetic to our surroundings. The end result suited our family’s needs perfectly and has been enjoyed by us and admired by friends and family.”

“On behalf of my wife & myself I would like to thank you for your patient & sympathetic managing of our recent flood related remedial work. Due to the age & construction of our house the work was not straight forward & needed several reappraisals as it progressed. With your technical expertise & the practical input of NBS, all obstacles were overcome leading to a successful conclusion.”

“I found Stephen Hodge Associates through a Google search while looking for someone who could manage a Party Wall Agreement and Structural calculations for me, and was delighted to know that they could handle both. The communication has been timely and professional from day one, and it has been a pleasure to deal with them throughout the process. I’ve been kept regularly updated, and have had fast responses to any and all queries throughout the process, be it by email or phone. It has been a relief to know that there’s one part of my building project that I haven’t had to worry about at all, and that when things did go a little awry, that there was a friendly and approachable person on the end of the phone to help sort things out. Great service – I’d happily recommend and would use them again for any future projects!” 

S. Vlassopulos

“Stephen Hodge Associates provided indispensable advice for me about a party wall agreement. Stephen’s initial inspection of the property and the construction proposed helped me draft comments for the planning application. Before work commenced Stephen conferred with our neighbour’s surveyor to produce a comprehensive agreement to suit everyone. Without a party wall agreement recourse can be tricky when cracks start to appear in walls during renovation or improper footings destabilise a property. For peace of mind and good neighbour relations, it is worth retaining experts which Stephen Hodge Associates certainly are!”

“Your advice and subsequent report was fantastic. Its thoroughness allowed the complete restoration of our party wall. At each step of the way your advice was correct, and I’m grateful for your input.” 

Anon. Client

“My legal cover arranged for Stephen Hodge to do an expert witness report after a builder ruined my new kitchen whilst attempting to install it.  I would recommend to anyone that has had poor building work done to their house to get an expert witness report by Stephen Hodge. The report clearly explained all the defects and the cost of putting it right and who was to blame which is incredibly useful at such a stressful time.  Next time and hopefully for more exciting reasons, I know who to contact for chartered building surveyors.”

D. Peters

“Living abroad and wishing to return to the UK, we needed a local expert to manage repairs at the cottage we had bought for our retirement. Once we had identified a realistic list of repairs, S Hodge and Associates organised an open tendering process that allowed us to discuss our requirements with reputable local builders.The builders progressed with the work efficiently. Overseen by the keen eye of S Hodge and Associates, any problems (inevitable with an old house) were resolved pragmatically.and Hodge and Associates took responsibility for all the legal and contractual aspects and provided a reliable and friendly service”
