Why McKay

One accountable surveyor, start to finish

No handovers, no account managers, no jargon — you deal with the surveyor doing the work, and you hear back the same day.

Regulated by RICS

Both sides of the regulations

Two years inside Building Control and a trade background — I read the building and the rules together.

Independent advice

I act only for you — no ties to contractors or suppliers.

Clear, photo-led reporting

Plain-English reports with defects ranked by priority and indicative costs.

Regulated & insured

Chartered (MRICS), regulated by RICS and fully professionally indemnified.

How it works

A short, predictable process

Most surveys go from enquiry to written report inside a few working days.

1

Enquiry

You get in touch and I confirm scope, fee and timing — usually within one working day.

2

On site

I inspect the fabric and services in detail and photograph everything that matters, so nothing is taken on trust.

3

Your report

A photo-led report in plain English, with defects ranked by priority and indicative costs. Then I talk you through it.

Have a building you're worried about?

A no-obligation first call to scope your job and give you an honest fee and timescale — usually within one working day.
