We could not have been happier with the quality of service, professionalism and speed of working with Martin at Heddon Structures.

He is the best professional in this field we have ever worked with - he patiently guided us through the complexities of a structural renovation, sharing detailed and precise drawings, connecting us with trusted companies and helping us through uncertainties. We would have felt lost without him and were so impressed by his dedication to our job, being incredibly responsive and even following up afterwards.

A truly trustworthy professional who we won’t hesitate to work with again! A big thank you for such a smooth, expert and professional job.

I had high hopes for the services I required when working with Heddon Structures, based on the other reviews and quality of the projects shown on their website. It wasn't a complex piece of work, I needed a follow up to a Level 3 survey I had carried out on a flat I am looking to purchase. I stressed that I needed a better view of what work was required and how much it would cost to be able to go back to the seller to discuss potential cost sharing. I was also promised support to find contractors and specialists who would help me with costing.
For the cost agreed, I was very disappointed. The report was very lightweight with much less information than the original survey (which they had), did not cover everything discussed, it was very late to agreed completion and I had to chase it. The follow up and closing of the report was also later than agreed after chasing it.
The introduction of a contractor to help with building costs happened, but other than to ask my availability, they have still not contacted me to arrange a site visit after nearly 2 weeks.
I agreed to pay only 50% of the invoice and Martin readily agreed, suggesting that he knew the work was sub-standard.

Martin carried out a structural survey for us for the removal of a supporting wall to create an open plan kitchen/diner. His calculations, drawings and advice were professional, detailed and gave me the reassurance needed for carrying out structural work. Martin was very efficient when contacted and I would recommend him to anyone requiring a structural engineer.

Martin is one the best professionals I have dealt with. At evey point I was unsure of something Martin was patient, helped me to understand the things I needed to address with my property and took time to speak with me. I would not hesitate to recommend Martin to anyone needing survey or Design work undertaking

Engineer Martin Heddon created a renovation project for us that we didn't even dare imagine. He supported and guided us when, at the beginning, we were very worried about the confusion created by unscrupulous people. Then, in a concrete and discreet way, he set up all the work in a professional manner. Communication has always been excellent on both a technical and relational level. He led us to the conclusion by taking care of and anticipating every technical and regulatory detail. We can truly say that we were lucky to meet him. Although he is obviously, given his excellence, very busy, he took charge of our project also thanks to his human sensitivity. He has always been present with discretion. We are deeply grateful to him

First class consultation with Martin Heddon of Heddon Structures, providing excellent information regarding the current state of the building we were looking to purchase. Martin is also in contact with high quality builders, electricians etc. who went on to complete first class work on our property. I would recommend Heddon Structures to anyone who requires information regarding buildings or property they may be looking to develop or purchase.

Double dormer structure update.
We recently moved into a 1950s semi with a double dormer loft conversion which has a structural stud wall built utilising the original king post truss bisecting the space. The proposed new layout requires removal of this. Martin was engaged early in the process and provided sound advice throughout. He understood our requirements well and designed a solution which will enable us to achieve current building regs whilst being able live in the property while the work is done. Can’t fault him, and I feel that he will support us well with further projects. Glad to have found Heddon Structures, and look forward to working together again. Chris

I regularly work with Martin at Heddon structures and will recommend him to my customers every time. Always professional and provides very in depth surveys and Structural Inspections. The information Martin can provide before a home alteration project is undertaken is absolutely invaluable, and can save a lot of time and money.
