We carry out residential structural surveys and commercial surveys in Rickmansworth. Rickmansworth is located a few miles west of Watford and is situated on the River Colne and its tributaries the Gade and the Chess, and also has the Grand Union Canal running through it.

The name 'Rickmansworth' dates back to the Saxon times and was named after the local magnate 'Ryckmer'; the 'worth' part was added to the name and means stockade or farm. In the Domesday book of 1086 the area was known as Prichemaresworde. The spelling of the name changed over the years and in 1382 it became Rikmansworth.

Rickmansworth has a charter dating back to 1542 but it wasn't until the 1790s when the Grand Junction Canal was built (now known as the Grand Union Canal ) that the area grew considerably. The canal enabled the coal to be delivered to industrial industries that sprang up in the town and also enabled the export of goods being produced.

The coming of the railway also attracted more people to work in the area and Rickmansworth was producing paper, beer, watercress and leather goods.

The growing of watercress was a big business in Rickmansworth and the surrounding areas as the plant grew well in the River Chess.

Part of Rickmansworth near St Mary's Church and the 17 th century tower is a Conservation area.

The town grew considerably in the years before World War II due to the London Underground Metropolitan Line running to Rickmansworth Station; this has made Rickmansworth a commuter town for people mainly commuting to and from London.
