Welcome to Clarke & Jay - Chartered Surveyors

Clarke and Jay Chartered Surveyors was founded in 2013 by Dominic Jay and Cameron Clarke. Having both had long careers in residential and commercial surveying they felt the time was right to provide good quality personalised expert advice that corporate organisations seemed unable to provide.

About Us

We offer our professional services throughout Worcestershire, Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, Warwickshire and the Cotswolds. Clarke and Jay Surveyors have experience in surveying all types of property from historically important listed buildings to period, Victorian, inter war and modern buildings.

Offices in Worcester, Moreton-in-Marsh, Stratford-upon-Avon and Cheltenham
We consistently receive very positive feedback for our professional, efficient and personalised service. We always discuss client requirements before the instruction is taken and provide verbal feedback once the inspection has been completed. We are then available to discuss problems or issues that require careful consideration and can help with organising repairs or further investigations.

The practice is regulated by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and operates strictly in accordance with best practice.

Services offered:

Building Survey – RICS Home Survey – Level 3

It is also suited to period property or property in poor condition. A level 3 Building Survey is also recommended if you intend to renovate, alter or extend the property.

RICS Home Survey - Level 2
This survey was previously known as the Homebuyer Report. It has recently been updated and reviewed by the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS). The RICS Home Survey - Level 2 is suited to properties dating from the 1900’s onwards that are of traditional construction and in reasonable condition.
