Our team works across the Rochford district from our Essex base, with RICS-regulated reports prepared in line with BRE 209 (2022). Local site attendance runs faster than for London-led practices, and the broader practice has been delivering daylight and sunlight reports across the East of England since 2004. Where works also cross a shared boundary, party wall services sit alongside the daylight piece, handled by the same team.
Vertical Sky Component covers light to windows. Annual Probable Sunlight Hours covers sunlight to habitable rooms with relevant orientation. Overshadowing analysis on amenity space tests the 21 March sun position. Sunpath studies sit alongside where seasonal access matters, particularly on smaller plots in conservation areas where existing form constrains the design options available.
A typical turnaround is 2 to 3 weeks from instruction. Calls are answered by a qualified surveyor rather than a call centre, and a free initial assessment sets out scope before any fee is committed. This is a bespoke surveying service shaped to each scheme.
The 2 to 3 week turnaround means the report fits within most planning programmes without slowing submission. Where the scheme involves building over an existing property, airspace development advice sits alongside the daylight piece. The free initial assessment is the way in for borderline cases or for an early read on scope.
