About Us

A modern, client-focused approach

At Richard Russell Surveyors, we provide a modern, client-focused approach to residential
property surveying. Our Cheltenham office serves Gloucestershire, Worcestershire and the
Cotswolds, offering local insight, friendly communication and professional advice to help clients
make confident property decisions.

We combine traditional surveying expertise with the latest technology — including highresolution drone inspections and digital reporting tools that make our surveys clear, visual and
easy to understand.

Clear, practical and honest advice

We believe that property decisions should never be made in the dark. From your first call through
to the finished report, we focus on open communication… listening to your concerns, tailoring our
advice, and providing clear, reliable reports you can trust.

Your property is our only focus

We don’t rush from house to house. By limiting the number of surveys we take on, we’re able to
dedicate the right amount of time to every client, working on just one home at a time. The result
is a detailed, jargon-free report, illustrated with helpful photographs and practical
recommendations.

We won’t keep you waiting

Our focused way of working also means a fast turnaround — typically within three working days
for Level 3 Building Surveys, two for Level 2 Home Surveys, and one to two days for valuation
work.

Our door is always open

Our service doesn’t end when the report is delivered. Whether it’s a follow-up call, a video chat,
or simply answering questions as you move forward with your purchase, we’re always happy to
talk things through. We believe good advice should continue for as long as you need it.

Supporting something bigger

We’re proud to be members of 1% for the Planet, contributing 1% of our annual revenue to
environmental causes. Every survey or valuation we complete helps fund projects that protect
and restore the natural world, so choosing us means making a positive difference beyond your
home.
