About Purslows

The family firm of chartered building surveyors has been providing building surveying, architectural and project management services in Norfolk since 1974! The company has thrived for this long due to our dedication to professional excellence and personal service.

Our Story:

Purslows was established in April 1974 by Philip Purslow. Philip was a Chartered Surveyor working at Erpingham Rural District Council, and took early retirement when Rural District Councils were replaced by District Councils.

Philip was joined by his son Simon Purslow in 1976. Under this family partnership, the practice continued to grow and expand. Simon’s son Paul joined the practice in 2011, having previously gained experience in London and Norwich before returning to join the family business. The company remains family owned and run, with Paul Purslow now taking the practice forward.
