Maggie Suller

I needed a structural engineer at short notice. Spoke to Lewis and he arranged to come round in an evening to do the survey. Very professional and helpful, report came back within a couple of days well written and clearly explained. Would thoroughly recommend.

Kev Gibson

Good all round service, with a final report that addressed all my concerns.

Ian May

Most impressed with the speed of service and professional approach by Tashi Structures. A site visit was arranged quickly and a comprehensive report was delivered the following week. This is the first time I’ve needed to employ the services of a structural engineer and was quite daunted by some of the reviews of other companies but found Lewis Osborne easy to deal with, efficient and friendly in every respect. I would highly recommend his services.

Ingrid Brandon

Don’t usually leave reviews, but the high level of service and flexibility offered to me by Tashi structures was second to none. I am a self builder who run into issues with a structural gabion basket design that had not been thought through by previous structural engineer. After contacting Lewis he acted quickly and decisively to dig me out of a hole. Professional and personable, I can’t speak highly enough of these guys!!!

Lee Simmonds

Clear communication, valuable advice and quick delivery. Couldn’t recommend Lewis highly enough. Five-star service.

Sammy Murphy

Highly recommend! The service Lewis provides is excellent, he has a wealth of knowledge and a very calming presence to put your mind at ease with any structural concerns you may have. His report was very detailed and whilst he did not recommend any specific companies to complete the work he was very detailed in his recommended approach to remediations.

Karim Descombes

Great service and good communication. Would highly recommend

Andrew Brooks

Lewis is highly professional, patient, efficient and personable. He accepted our small but slightly unusual & rather detailed small job. We required a ‘comfort’ report for our Landlord, which would confirm that the proposed apartment alterations were either structurally sound without calculations, or were sound, proved by Lewis’s calculations. The report also involved clear visuals, overlaying the proposals onto ‘as existing’ photos, enabling it to be easily understood by non-professionals. The report supported our successful Building Control application. Lewis’s charges are exceptionally reasonable. He honoured his quote despite additional time, & for which l felt uncomfortable and asked him for a further invoice. Lewis responded with speed & patience, to queries, explanations & revisions, and was happy to work with me to produce the report l wanted. I am very appreciative and thank you, Lewis.

Punctually got back to my query for the work i was investigating. Setup the appointment really well. Arrived and did a thorough investigation. Really happy with the report back. Great service. Would highly recommend.

Great work! Even with our limited time frame Lewis was able to fit us in, investigate the project and give us an in depth project plan for our works needed doing and guide us in regards to planning permissions and building regulations etc. Even giving up his own weekend to make sure we had what we needed in time, 10/10 top bloke!

Benjamin jenkins

Lewis carried out a structural inspection of a property we are in the process of purchasing. We received a highly detailed and thorough report that was of excellent quality. Lewis was professional and easy to communicate with throughout, including contacting the estate agent directly to organise his site visit which made our lives that bit easier. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend his services.

I asked Lewis to do a structural survey for some cracking of an internal wall in a 110 year old house. His report came in two weeks, was comprehensive, and gave clear advice about the cause and remedy.

Patrick Smyth

Lewis has been absolutely fantastic in preparing our report and supporting us through knocking down couple of walls and installing a beam, very communicative and helpful even once the report was issued. Could not recommend more highly.

Alison Broderick-Hill

Tashi Structures were recommended by our RICS surveyor when we purchased our property. There were queries regarding historical subsidence and whether there was any ongoing movement. Lewis’ communication was excellent and timely. Appointments were arranged directly with the estate agent and even outside of typical working hours, so as to accommodate the vendors. Reports were written quickly, but carefully, and were very thorough. Report findings were also corroborated by the vendors’ own independent (and unrelated to TS) engineer, who had been instructed by them and who had decades’ long history with the property. We then asked Tashi Structures to return and provide structural counts for our renovations. At this point, Lewis could have taken our cash, drawn up some counts and run, but he didn’t. He took a considerate and consultative approach. Encouraging us to seek advice from an architect before ploughing ahead with our plans, which might not have been financially viable to us. Lewis also took great care to simply explain construction and building issues to us, so that we could be fully informed despite not having any real sector knowledge of our own. We have really appreciated Tashi Structures integrity throughout this project and look forward to working with Lewis again, once we have finalised design plans.

Cait Meenagh

Tashi Structures were a great help during a stressful time. Lewis is professional, communicates throughout and charges a very reasonable fee. The detailed report has given us peace of mind and a way forward with our purchase.

Bianca Dowling

Lewis from Tashi Structures was very friendly and professional and was very thorough with his inspection of our garage. Lewis’s report was very detailed and explained all the issues and how to move forward. I would highly recommend Lewis.
