Services
Smith & Garratt is a family-owned firm of specialist surveyors. From our main offices on the Scottish Border we offer services in England and Scotland. Our founding surveyor, Hugh Garratt, is from a farming family and studied at the Royal Agricultural College before becoming a chartered surveyor. Twenty years a land agent he found most enjoyment in overcoming technical challenges.
The Smith & Garratt logo features a classical window with no indication whether the view is from within, from without, or whether it is a stand-alone monumental structure. It is representative of our work - which is generally traditional in nature and includes interior works, exterior works, and stand-alone or landmark tasks.
We are specialist surveyors with acknowledged expertise in traditional and period properties. We advise on a whole range of properties - castles and country houses, town houses, cottages, farm buildings, buildings in good condition, buildings in shocking condition, buildings with supposedly inexplicable defects, bridges, towers, cellars.
As much as half of Smith & Garratt's energy is spent on the conservation of special buildings. Conservation is about preparing a building for continued use or a new use; in many cases it is about saving the building by making it useful. Conservation involves a mix of preservation, restoration and alteration.
