With the process of planning permission and building regulations becoming ever more complex, we take the stress away from this work and allow you to focus on the finer and more exciting details of your project.

Whether you are looking for a small extension that expands your living space or you are looking to design that new home or have a development project in mind, we have the services to facilitate your requirements.

Every one of our projects is unique and bespoke.

Contact us through the contact page if you have any further enquiries or comments.

PTL (Progression Technical Services Limited)

Progression Technical was established in 2014 following a growing demand in the other professional services that are required during the design and construction process. With an in-house Party Wall Surveyor and Arboriculturist we can provide even more services under one roof and provide a more extensive service for our clients

Arboriculturists We provide professional tree reports in conjunction with planning application requirements, such as BS:5837, tree condition reports & issues relating to TPO’s. We are also certified in Mortgage (Home Buyers) Tree Reports and works to Veteran Trees

As professionals in the practice of arboriculture we manage and study individual and groups of trees.

The relationship between trees and development can be complex. Trees can prevent planning approval, so we have acquired the skills as arboriculturalists to deal with this aspect of development.

Some trees are protected via tree preservation orders or they are located within a conservation area. Any work you wish to carry out to a protected tree requires a planning application, accompanied by technical support information. We are able to offer this service to our clients.

Party Wall Surveyors

If you are planning to build on the boundary or are excavating within 3 metres of your neighbour, then you will need to address the party wall issues.

We are able to act as the Building Owner's Surveyor, Adjoining Owner's Surveyor or Joint Surveyor
