“Over the weekend of the 20th and 21st June an external survey was carried out at our premises.
FRA Surveys Limited organised and implemented all the necessary works and equipment needed.
Their engineers arrived punctually and worked tirelessly all day on the 20th June completing the survey on the 21st June. The engineers attitude was both professional and courteous at all times and they kept us fully informed with their progress.
Our experience dealing with the directors and staff from start to finish proved to be stress free.
We would strongly recommend the company for any future similar projects.”
