Client thoughts

Phoned within an hour of fill out the form to find out what I needed and to make an appointment. Helpful while at my house giving me useful information. I’ve never used a similar service before hand to say if value for money but I received what I need so I am very happy. Very nice to talk to, and helpful, would use again if needed.

Mike Goole

He contacted me within twenty minutes of placing request, came out next day & supplied report the day after. Excellent service, explained things clearly & thoroughly & provided report in short timescale. Steven is one of the most professional people i’ve ever dealt with, He was thorough, organised, knew exactly what we needed.

Jim Auckley, South Yorkshire

I followed up with Steven K H Chan. Fantastic. Lovely bloke, knows his stuff, timely and efficient. Performed a thorough inspection and explained everything well. Perfect!

Chris Doncaster

I asked Steven Chan to produce calculations and sketches, which he did. His service so far has been very good and his fee was reasonable.

A. Ram

The only one that contacted me (on Easter Mon) was the second on the list Mr Chan from Freelance Consulting. He came a few days later. He was very polite and arrived on time (a day early in fact as he had another job in the area). I have now had his report and I am looking for a builder.

C. Hopkinson

I followed up with Steven Chan and am satisfied with the work he did. He worked his availability around us, was extremely helpful in explaining things and swift in delivering our report.
We didn’t know the difference between a structural surveyor and a structural engineer. Our estate agent directed us to structural surveyors only and it was frustrating as a novice to the jargon to not understand where to go

Hannah

The work was carried out to a very high standard and at short notice, which is what we required.

Michelle

I chose Freelance Consulting Chartered Structural Engineer. The work has been carried and I’m satisfied with their work.

J. A.

I placed an order with Steven Chan who made contact quickly and kept in touch throughout which was great as the lines of communication were open. Very helpful and courteous.

J. Beacher

I decided to use Freelance Consulting and Steven K H Chan who was very informative and easy to talk to and he used no gobbledegook words to explain things, a very friendly guy. He was the first to respond. Mr Chan came at the agreed time and he did a thorough examination, I was very satisfied with him overall. His follow up with the report was also quick and very business
like.

Jim

Thank you we found the website very informative and we used Freelance Consulting…Steve Chan. He initially phoned us and was extremely helpful..then followed up with a visit…then procuding the drawings we wanted to a very high spec.
We are very pleased with his services.

We were suddenly put into a difficult situation by AXA who pulled out of insuring previously heave affected house properties. To make worse they didn’t disclose this fact to us until the policy was due for renewal. We appointed Steven to do the survey which was carried out very efficiently and within an excellent time scale as we needed a report very quickly in order to reinsure as the cover for the house was set to expire very soon. The report produced was excellent and was presented to our broker who was then able to secure insurance cover with a different company. I cannot praise you enough for a very pleasing experience which rapidly solved a difficult and unexpected problem for us.

C. Reading

I contacted Steven K H Chan; he has been onsite – Report now submitted, abnormally quick response to request. In literally less than 1 minute, I received a call from Mr Chan. I couldnt believe it!

Stuart K.

The service we received from Steven was excellent. The report was thorough and he gave useful advice willingly via further telephone contact.

P. Wiles

Superb service. We have already recommended Mr Chan to numerous people. We will definitely use Mr Chan again, brilliant

Sean F. Doncaster

I was able to get a range of estimates from structural engineers in my area. I contacted Freelance Consulting Chartered Structural Engineers and placed an order for a Structural Engineer’s Report.
I am extremely satisfied with the work that was carried out., Steven Chan’s price for the survey was very competitive. He performed a thorough examination of my property both internally and externally. He allowed me to accompany him during the survey and gave me valuable information and explanation of his findings. He reviewed all relevant historical information and included this within the structural report. The report that followed was excellent. It was professionally written, concise and covered exactly the points that I needed.
The report was also submitted by the deadline that was agreed. I would recommend Freelance Consulting to anyone looking for a structural survey.

M. Smith

This guy is fast, and very friendly and explained everything in detail and got my report within one week of him coming out.
Thank you Steve I will pass you on to other people as you did a great job for me.

D. Doolin

The service I received from Steven Chan @ Freelance Consulting was second to none and I couldn’t recommend him highly enough. He came to the property a couple of days later, advised of the problem and then within 5 days, I had a fully written report of his findings that I needed to proceed with the sale of my property. I will recommend this company to family and friends and will definitely use him again if I need to.

M. Wilson

I was most satisfied with the response I received from Steve Chan whose services I found were both efficient and courteous. His recommendations are being carried out at present. I would not hesitate to use this service in the future.  Many thanks to all concerned.

Angela Knottingley, West Yorkshire

Steven provided a very prompt service and enabled me to obtain buildings insurance at a reasonable rate following concerns raised by my insurers about a previous claim for subsidence.
