Testimonials
“Our project involved a straightforward party wall on one side and a complex array of 11 parties, with both leaseholders and a freeholder on the other. Danielle was able to secure party wall agreements with all parties to allow our project to go forward in a timely fashion. Danielle was very knowledgeable and always knew how best to proceed. She was available to discuss specifics of the process and our progress whenever we needed. With so many party wall agreements to arrange, I cannot think of a more challenging situation to navigate, and Danielle delivered. Highly Recommended.”

“We engaged Danielle to survey a large multi-dwelling property. This was a complex building of several parts added at different times over the decades. Danielle provided a no-nonsense service. Handling the complexities with deft professionalism and detail that quickly produced the sort of report we really needed. We would not hesitate to use Danielle again and highly recommend her very professional service.”
Christian Fortune
“Our project involved a complex party wall negotiation on both sides of our house. Danielle was able to secure party wall agreements, was very knowledgable, always knew how best to proceed and available to discuss specifics of the process for our project to go forward in a timely fashion.
As post design Contract Administrator (CA), Danielle left negotiations with the contractor in a very efficient and collegial way. We did not have to rely on the architects on the administration of our project, allowing them to address design issues only, as Danielle
had plenty of experience and expertise to support us as clients. Highly recommended.”

“I used Danielle Brooke’s service for a long, large build in West London. Her excellent Party Wall negotiations resulted in a positive outcome covered by my insurance. It was easy to communicate with her and she was most helpful throughout, so I didn’t need to worry. I am very happy to recommend Danielle.”

“Danielle has acted for my company in both a re-evaluation of the company’s commercial and mixed-use properties for insurance purposes (and two party wall agreements). She has provided an excellent service in all matters and I would recommend her to other companies and individuals for similar work.”

“Danielle undertook a highly professional and comprehensive survey of 2 properties, which she delivered to a very high standard.
The subsequent drawings were both very accurate and detailed, and Danielle’s knowledge and experience were extremely useful in taking this project forward. I would have no reservation in using Brooke and Associates in the future, and would strongly recommend their services to others.”

Our project involved diagnosing water ingress to some 20 projecting window bays to our 3 storey block of flats that had been ongoing for years. With specialist scaffold access and pre-remedial works enabling investigations, Danielle diagnosed the issue and then managed a local contractor to effect repairs under a formal JCT contract that completed on time and below budget. We, the freeholders of this property, thank Danielle for her hard work but more importantly attention to detail and due diligence throughout. We could not have done it without her!

We have employed Danielle to carry out all
of our Party Wall work for many years.
Most recently, she dealt with our Charlton Workstack development. She is expert, efficient and great to deal with. I can therefore recommend B and A without hesitation.

Danielle was engaged as our surveyor in a party wall award agreement. Numerous issues arose relating to the award including damage to our property caused by works carried out by a third party. We were very pleased that Danielle was our party wall surveyor – we certainly would not have wanted her on the other side. Danielle dealt with the issues with sharp clarity and professionalism. She was very communicative and her experience came through. Her negotiation skills are excellent and if one is in dispute Danielle has all the required attributes to provide the professional support one needs in such situations. We absolutely trusted Danielle to resolve the issues and she indeed took the initiative and assumed control of the situation and dealt with matters in a very constructive and effective manner and we have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Danielle.

“Danielle was asked to look at a large residential property in South Kensington, which had suffered from serious leaks over a 15 year period. Numerous consultants, builders and specialists investigated during this period, but the problems remained. Despite there being little contemporaneous information available, Danielle rolled up her sleeves and systematically inspected and tested all points of possible water ingress. Very quickly, she was able to map the house and identify the roots causes of the leaks and instruct the necessary remedial works. Danielle carried out her work discretely and with the utmost professionalism, whilst the owners were in residence. The house is now completely watertight and good for another 50 years.”

“I manage about 450 retail units in and around London, most with various property management issues which take up various amounts of time. Party wall cases are one of those matters that can be complex, requiring specialist knowledge and thorough investigation, which would take up too much time - and I have no hesitation in passing these onto Danielle, knowning that she will protect the company’s position. Danielle’s work is thorough and she has proven to be adaptable when circumstances change during a project. I can get on with my other work and not have to worry about party wall issues. Would always recommend Danielle.”

Danielle was engaged to provide us with a Quinquennial inspection of our 200 year old, grade 2 listed Quaker Meeting House. This was carried out in a very professional and thorough manner and she was able to make clear distinctions between urgent priorities and minor issues. One subsequent, and major focus was the re-roofing of a major part of the site which was carried out with Danielles’ support and inspections - crucial in the face of the more technical aspects of roofing work. Would not hesitate to employ her again.
Jim Wallace - Warden, Brighton Friends Meeting House
In 2023, I commissioned Danielle Brooke to assist me with (1) the preparation of a costed Schedule of Dilapidation (Scott Schedule), (2) to engage with the Tenant’s Surveyor in reviewing and negotiating the Scott Schedule, and (3) to project manage a s18.1 Diminution in Value of the Property following the Tenant’s termination of their Lease. Danielle carried out all the three tasks required of her professionally and within the agreed time scale. I am happy to recommend Danielle’s excellent services to other companies and individuals for similar tasks.

The Trustees at JCC, with over 15+yrs of the Centre being open, decided that it would be a good time to consider any current and future challenges that the Centre might face. We chose Danielle to complete the AMP survey for her insight, competence and absolute commitment to provide a piece of work that truly met our needs. She was rapidly able to commission a drone survey and her tailored approach has provided us with information that has proved invaluable. We are happy to recommend her services to anyone who requires similar services.
