I contacted Simon for advice regarding attenuation and drainage requirements for a development project, and he was incredibly helpful from start to finish. He took the time to review the information, explain the requirements clearly and provide practical, professional guidance that gave me confidence in moving forward. His knowledge of drainage, soakaways and attenuation design is excellent, and he was always approachable, responsive and willing to help. It’s refreshing to deal with someone who is both highly experienced and genuinely interested in finding the right solution. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable and reliable geotechnical engineer, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Simon and STG Engineering. Many thanks for all your help. ]]> Thu, 18 Jun 2026 12:02:51 +0000 https://www.southhams.com/directory/building-and-construction/geotechnical-engineering/discussions/review?id=2190 https://www.southhams.com/directory/building-and-construction/geotechnical-engineering/discussions/review?id=2190 Simon was very responsive, knowledgeable and professional from the outset. He was able to advise us on the best place to do the survey and locate a soakaway if required. He was also very cooperative as regards fitting us in for the survey. Once on site he and the ground working team were friendly, helpful and very tidy. In fact afterwards the garden looked tidier than before they started! ]]> Wed, 03 Jun 2026 10:05:05 +0000 https://www.southhams.com/directory/building-and-construction/geotechnical-engineering/discussions/review?id=2182 https://www.southhams.com/directory/building-and-construction/geotechnical-engineering/discussions/review?id=2182 We had a concern with the removal of some trees behind our cottage on a steep slope and contacted STG for an impact assessment. Simon was amazing, he responded very quickly and kept us informed as to when he could make it on site. After his visit he spent a lot of time explaining the potential issues and helping us come to a decision. He has a great combination of technical knowledge and common sense. Can't recommend highly enough. ]]> Fri, 15 May 2026 08:40:11 +0000 https://www.southhams.com/directory/building-and-construction/geotechnical-engineering/discussions/review?id=2179 https://www.southhams.com/directory/building-and-construction/geotechnical-engineering/discussions/review?id=2179 Simon was fantastic from start to finish. As soon as the appointment was booked he called to introduce himself. He also made contact the day before the appointment to clarify timings etc. He listened to what we needed and came up with a solution. He was polite, professional and easy to talk to. Simon then took the time to put our report together within 24 hours. I can't recommend this chap enough. Great service. ]]> Sun, 03 May 2026 14:55:55 +0000 https://www.southhams.com/directory/building-and-construction/geotechnical-engineering/discussions/review?id=2170 https://www.southhams.com/directory/building-and-construction/geotechnical-engineering/discussions/review?id=2170 Simon was knowledgeable, professional and enthusiastic and was prepared to go the extra mile to work with South West Water and Architect to get agreement sorted to deal with surface water as part of planning application.

I would have no hesitation in recommending him ]]> Fri, 18 Jul 2025 09:58:17 +0000 https://www.southhams.com/directory/building-and-construction/geotechnical-engineering/discussions/review?id=2012 https://www.southhams.com/directory/building-and-construction/geotechnical-engineering/discussions/review?id=2012 Simon was recommended by another engineer and proved to be exceptionally helpful with a can-do attitude. His customer consideration and keenness help is refreshing. Simon organised a soakaway survey and produced a very detailed report satisfying building control. I have no hesitation in recommending Simon. ]]> Wed, 30 Apr 2025 09:13:27 +0000 https://www.southhams.com/directory/building-and-construction/geotechnical-engineering/discussions/review?id=1994 https://www.southhams.com/directory/building-and-construction/geotechnical-engineering/discussions/review?id=1994 I found Simon and STG Engineering consistently available, quick to respond, professional and informative throughout the process. Simon's approach enabled my better understanding throughout. His prices are competitive and fair, and it is always a preference to deal with local companies such as STG. Thanks for such a great service. I will certainly use STG in the future if required or recommend to others. ]]> Thu, 17 Apr 2025 22:38:13 +0000 https://www.southhams.com/directory/building-and-construction/geotechnical-engineering/discussions/review?id=1949 https://www.southhams.com/directory/building-and-construction/geotechnical-engineering/discussions/review?id=1949 I was not expecting such a human service from the company I hired to produce a drainage report for my property. Simon has gone above and beyond in the service provided to support my renovation, excellent communication throughout and very flexible and accommoda/ting when I had some things I needed to step away and deal with for a few days in the middle of the process. In the event I have further need for a drainage engineer, Simon will be my first call without hesitation. Much appreciation. ]]> Thu, 27 Feb 2025 18:22:36 +0000 https://www.southhams.com/directory/building-and-construction/geotechnical-engineering/discussions/review?id=1867 https://www.southhams.com/directory/building-and-construction/geotechnical-engineering/discussions/review?id=1867 I first heard about Simon through a builder friend, we are in the process of buying a new house that has both a private water supply(borehole) as well as private sewage (septic tank). Having never had these services before, and with the Vendor of the house being equally ignorant, I asked Simon for some advice. Not only has he been very responsive and helpful to my questions, but he’s also recommended local specialists to come in and help us. In the end we did not need Simon's services directly, but that hasn't stopped him offering advice and support which has been invaluable. If you need somebody local to help with soakaways, drainage fields, ground investigations or waste testing, then simply contact Simon. ]]> Mon, 23 Sep 2024 09:48:49 +0000
