About

J Brotherton & Partners (JBP) was established in 1980 by Julian Brotherton and since then his sons, Mark and Stuart, have become an integral part of the business.

The whole team genuinely enjoy their work and show commitment to their clients that only a family business can.

Whilst meeting strict deadlines, the firm can provide extremely detailed and accurate surveys at attractive prices, with its state-of-the-art equipment.

Whether it be a large-scale development or a garden, our professional team can help with: 

• Topographical surveys
• Measured building surveys
• Elevations
• Volumetric calculations

‘A workman is only as good as his tools’ stands true in surveying and technology changes all the time – so you also have to have the expertise.

We keep up to date with technological advancements and invest in sophisticated surveying equipment. This, coupled with regular training, our experience and attention to detail, ensures that we maximise the advantages of having the best technology around – and our clients enjoy the cost savings. They also reap the results of increased productivity when time on site is limited.

Our latest reflectorless/robotic total stations are optical instruments which combine an electronic distance measuring device (EDM) with an electronic theodolite. They can measure distances and angles with extreme accuracy, as well as feature codes and point attributes. This information is then used to record survey points. The one-man robotic feature on these machines means that only one person needs to visit the site to carry out the work.

We can directly upload entire drawings onto our total stations for site visits and we can add things instantly, so nothing gets forgotten, whilst still on site. Using our advanced technology, we can identify site features and levels, show the plan location and height of adjacent buildings and also overlooking windows. Data can be processed at any scale and contours produced at any interval.
