Surveying, building inspections and design services across Lancashire and the wider North West.
Williams Survey & Design is based in Lancashire and undertakes selected work across the Ribble Valley, Rossendale, Pendle and the A59 corridor, Preston and Chorley areas, West Lancashire, the Fylde Coast, accessible parts of Greater Manchester, Cheshire and selected Yorkshire-border locations. Coverage depends on the type, scale and complexity of the instruction, so larger or specialist commissions can justify travelling further.

Most instructions are undertaken across Lancashire and adjoining areas, including the Ribble Valley, Rossendale, Pendle, West Lancashire and accessible North West / Yorkshire-border locations. The map highlights typical areas rather than defining a fixed mileage boundary.
For larger measured surveys, technical investigations, planning work or specialist commissions, travelling further can often be commercially practical. Send us the property postcode and a short description of the work and we can confirm availability.
Where congestion, restricted access or paid parking materially affects an instruction, this is allowed for within the quoted professional fee. Appointments may also be arranged outside peak travel periods where practical.

A short local reinspection and a multi-day topographical survey have very different travel economics. We therefore price the complete professional service rather than publishing separate mileage charges.
