Delivering excellence
Every time…

I felt reassured that the extensive works were being managed exceptionally well and was kept abreast of the progress and any unforeseen challenges.

I did not have to worry about any aspect of the build or refurbishment, enabling me to concentrate on my job as headteacher.

I have no qualms about recommending Wainwrights to any future companies or establishments. They have been a pleasure to have on site and I would use their services again, without hesitation.

Headteacher, Wightwick Hall School

Wainwrights have been helping us for a number of years now with our building consultancy work and we have seen great success, particularly from their involvement in our dilapidation claims.

Honest, reliable and highly knowledgeable. We wouldn’t consider working with any other firm of building surveyors.

Director, AWS

We have worked closely with Wainwrights for many years.

They have helped us negotiate on some high value dilapidation settlements and helped managed some high value projects. The quality of their advice and attention to detail has been outstanding.

Wainwrights have continually demonstrated their commitment to the successful deliver of each of these projects by engaging as part of the team. We expect Wainwrights to remain a valued and integral supplier to our business for years to come.

Senior VP, Westbrook Properties.

Wainwrights' understanding of school’s needs was essential particularly around safeguarding and H&S. The project was kept on schedule and delivered as expected, even though we were in the hight of a global pandemic.

I would certainly recommend them and hope to work with them in the future.

COO, Penk Valley Academy Trust

We have worked with Wainwrights for over 10 years and have developed a great partnership with their team.

Providing us with building surveying, project management and architectural services across a wide range of commercial projects, Wainwrights play a key role in many of our development and asset management initiatives.

We continue to work alongside Wainwrights due to their unwavering diligence, dedication and the high-quality services provided.
