Customer testimonials

“I’m so happy with what you did, you should do it to everyone’s home, especially when people are buying houses.  The experience of seeing the thermal images was mind boggling, it says it all, it opens your eyes to everything.

We found the surveyors very passionate and I just wanted to say how BRILLIANT the CHEESE Survey experience was! … polite, great at listening, helpful and interesting in a perfect balance. I got so much out of it. I have already started sealing gaps and stuffing holes under skirting boards – I swear its warmer already! – it was inspiring. I will spread the word.   and would certainly recommend this survey to others. Many thanks.”

“The most striking aspect of the survey for me was the focus on cold draughts, which is probably not what most people first think of, but is also probably easiest to do something about. . . this is a particularly positive message as the kind of things that usually come to mind are big and potentially daunting projects like getting double glazing or insulation.
