We carry out a full range of Building Surveying services across most industry sectors. We work for local authorities, churches, schools, charitable trusts and private clients to maintain and enhance their building stock.

Buildings maintenance

Having a planned preventative maintenance contract can help avoid buildings becoming damaged and keep everything running smoothly - thus avoiding reactive maintenance costs further down the line.

Condition reports

A condition report is a vital tool in any planned maintenance strategy as it highlights any defects, problems or potential dangers that a might exist.

Planning advice

The wide experience of our team ensures that we are able to offer practical and succinct planning advice over a wide range of applications across the whole built environment.

Sustainability advice

Hookway offers a range of sustainability services for both commercial and domestic properties. We can assess compliance needs and help clients work towards achieving their sustainability targets.

Feasibility studies

Hookway is experienced in providing advice relating to the feasibility of a newly proposed project. We can help ensure that our clients are able to make a well informed decision, prior to any firm commitments or large financial expenditure.

Whole lifecycle costing

Essentially whole life costing is a means of comparing options, and their associated cost and income streams, over a period of time. Understanding the whole life costs of a building helps our clients make better informed design decisions from the outset.
