Where a right of light survey ends and ours begins
A right of light survey is a specialist daylight calculation for a neighbour's windows, usually raised when a building next door is going up. We do not offer it, and we would rather say so than leave you waiting on a quote.
Our work is the measurement of the building: existing plans, elevations and sections drawn to scale. The fee starts from £200, and the pricing page shows the rest. If a consultant wants accurate drawings of your house, ask what they need and we will confirm.

Drawings that meet the scale rules
