Angela Gasparelli 11 July 2024 What an excellent service! Oliver was so helpful with the concerns that I had regarding the property that I intended to purchase. He guided me in the right direction and nothing was too much trouble. Do not hesitate to use him for your survey! Oliver Brodie 11 July 2024 I recently used Oliver for a structural and damp survey for a property I was buying.
The survey was extremely thorough and very professionally produced with Oliver giving me updates throughout the process.
The survey picked up things we did not expect and in the long run saved us a lot of money so thanks Oli.
I highly recommend Oliver at Hudson Surveying for any surveying needs! Absolutely brilliant! 5 star Chris065 Downloads 11 July 2024 The house survey report, illustrations and photographs produced are very professional. His recommendations and advice for immediate and future remedial works, were so helpful. Also a very quick turnaround from the survey to the report.
Would highly recommend Oliver Hudson Surveying. Mon Waller 10 July 2024 no houses perfect! However its best to know its faults and be able to negotiate the work being done or a reduction in price.
Oliver was extremely thorough! Warned me in advance that horrors would show up and they did. However in the summary said it was still a good property but to get the vendor to address the issues raised. This was done and I went ahead with the sale and am very happy in my new home.
Thank you Oliver for an excellent service and an efficient, speedy report. Bobby Dixon 9 July 2024 Highly recommend Oliver. Amazing service and an incredibly detailed report. Ann Daniel 9 July 2024 Survey and advice was very informative, we decided not to purchase the property. Thank you for your service and advice. Would recommend you to anyone. Steve Cutler 9 July 2024 Very Professional and thorough survey carried out, completed with a well laid out and explained report. Reliable and well-priced. Will use OHS again for any services we may require in the future. Matty Eckley 28 June 2024 Oliver Hudson was absolutely fantastic throughout the whole survey process.
He came highly recommended by my solicitor and I can highly recommend his services.
As a first time buyer and with me having very little knowledge of the ins and outs of house buying, Oliver guided me through the whole process, explained in detail the services he provided and gave me expert advice on what service would be best for the property I am buying.
Following his advice, I opted for a Level 2 Home Survey as the house is 70+ years old, and myself and my partner, and also close family and friends were very, very impressed with how detailed the survey report was that featured many photos of the property and how much effort he put into the survey.
No area was overlooked, he identified various risks in the house that could potentially lead to a costly & substantial issue in the near future and he also provided me with various tradesman details to contact for the particular repairs e.g. Structural Engineer for the rafters in the roof.
For anyone wanting a surveyor that provides 5* service, detailed reports and fantastic knowledge and advice, Oliver Hudson is the surveyor you need! Google rating score: 5.0 of 5, based on 8 reviews

Christmas came early for me this year, having been invited to play in the opening number at a gig at The New Adelphi Club in Hull last week, a hell of a Christmas gift after starting harmonica lessons only 18 months ago. Such a cool venue and great to explore backstage and warm up in the green rooms. We got a wonderful welcome from the Adelphi team and it was an honour to meet Paul Jackson, owner and founder of this unique independent underground music venue that has hosted some incredible artists over its 40-year history, including Oasis, Green Day, Kaiser Chiefs, Radiohead, The Stone Roses, Supergrass and Travis, to name only a few. I played harmonica in Dr. Feelgood’s “Down at the Doctors”, alongside Ukulele Bill AKA ‘The Ukulele One’ on uke and vocals (Adelphi regular), Rob from Somerset on guitar, Kieran (Adelphi regular) on bass, and Karl (Adelphi barman) on Djembe drum, who had to leg it back to the bar as soon as we’d finished. Jim, Adelphi’s sound engineer of 39 years no less, somehow pulled it all together as we’d never met or rehearsed and ran out of time for a sound check. I give myself
Well, the good news is that the properties I've surveyed over the last couple of weeks haven't had many defects, which is good for my buyer clients and good for me! Various East Yorks/North Lincs locations including Cottingham, Driffield, Barton, Beverley, and Walkington. I seem to be doing battle with a lot of cobwebs in lofts at the moment - I dread to think how many spiders I take home with me. Beware of allowing large coniferous trees like this cedar to keep growing, which is far too big to be growing near buildings and just creates an unnecessary risk of damage to the house's foundations. If you have a shower trap with a removable cover, be sure to clear and clean it every month or two (unless you're bald in which case low risk of hair blockage!) to maintain drainage speed and prevent back-up. If you live in a semi-detached or terraced property, check to see if there are any gaps in the party walls to the neighbour's lofts. Originally, there were often no party walls running along the boundary lines between houses, but that does present both a fire and security risk, security for obvious reasons, and fire
Right, who's up for a one-off, unique, never to be repeated evening of non-festive music to set you up for Christmas? Hull’s very own ‘The Ukulele One’ AKA ‘T.U.O.’ (formerly known as ‘Ukulele Bill’) is celebrating his approximately 500th gig by putting on a great night of entertainment – an eclectic mix of rock, folk, blues and classical – lots of guitar action, not to mention Bill’s ukulele (I hadn’t realised how many famous musicians as well as celebs are/were ukulele players?!). Most importantly, it’s taking place at Hull’s infamous The New Adelphi Club which over its 40-year history has hosted the likes of Oasis, The Stone Roses, Radiohead, Supergrass, Green Day, Travis, Pulp, Fat Boy Slim, Manic Street Preachers, The Shamen, Inspiral Carpets, Happy Mondays, and of course both The Housemartins and Beautiful South. Least importantly, Bill has invited me to pay homage to a late great musician by playing harmonica in a cover so, if nothing else, come to have a good laugh at me! - Thursday 19th December 2024 - The New Adelphi Club, Hull - 7.00pm - Tickets £4.99 on the door (or message me to put your ticket(s) aside) Hope to see you there… Oli

Jim, Adelphi’s sound engineer of 39 years no less, somehow pulled it all together as we’d never met or rehearsed and ran out of time for a sound check. I give myself about a 4/10 - nerves got the better of me, not so great for spontaneous improvisation and good breathing – but all good experience. My teacher has already torn it to shreds! Another 5,000 hours of practice and hopefully I’ll be ready to play blues alongside the likes of the late great Muddy Waters. Here’s a clip if you fancy a listen… https://youtu.be/zp79nalHQzU. The theme of the evening was the humble Ukulele, and there were some outstanding covers played by Hull Ukulele Group, including The Beautiful South’s “Don’t Marry Her”. So grateful to Ukulele Bill and Adelphi for my first (paid for!) gig - an honour and a privilege - and to Karl for keeping me well watered with Guinness!

If you live in a semi-detached or terraced property, check to see if there are any gaps in the party walls to the neighbour's lofts. Originally, there were often no party walls running along the boundary lines between houses, but that does present both a fire and security risk, security for obvious reasons, and fire because it greatly increases the risk of fire spread between the properties, in the event of a fire in the neighbouring property spreading to this property, and vice versa. Large holes like this should be bricked/blocked-up, any gaps should be filled tightly with glass fibre insulation, and if there are any holes too small to be filled tightly with insulation, these should be cement pointed, all to aid fire-stopping in order to prevent fire spread between the properties. Rainbow - brightened up my day! Three different types of damp proof course in an 1890 solid brick wall. The original bitumen DPC failed, so a chemical-injected DPC was installed, which didn't work, so a modern PVC DPC was installed, which is certainly helping, but nobody thought to simply lower the outside ground level to prevent rainwater splashing the brickwork above the DPC to minimise the risk of rising damp. Surveying is a bit like detective works sometimes, finding defects and then following the trail to diagnose the cause. Sometimes the defects are hard to find, but I think we can all agree that this wall is wet. Diagnosing the cause of this particular damp though, interestingly, was not straightforward! And finally, a beautiful wasp nest tucked into the eaves where the wasps and safe and warm with a simple entrance/exit via the roof eaves. Fortunately for me, at this cold time of year, its inhabitants were long gone. There might be a non-surveying musically-themed post to follow before Christmas but, in the meantime, I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy and prosperous 2025. #surveyor #surveyors #surveying #hull #kingstonuponhull #eastyorkshire #northlincolnshire
