This multi-disciplinary firm brings over 20 years of combined experience in chartered surveying and architectural design, offering clients in Hastings and throughout Sussex a dependable partner for their property needs.

Their well-earned reputation extends across Sussex, Surrey, Kent, and even Central London, thanks to their adaptability, technical fluency, and dedication to customer care.

Bespoke Architectural Services Tailored to Every Vision

Comprehensive planning, precision drawings, and compliance support

Clarion’s architectural services cover every phase of property improvement—from early conceptual development to detailed planning and execution. Whether a client dreams of an elegant extension, a full home renovation, or a new-build design, Clarion ensures that vision is both inspiring and structurally sound.

Their architectural offerings include:

• Feasibility studies to explore design potential while considering budget, site constraints, and planning feasibility

• Measured building surveys and technical drawings using a combination of traditional site methods and state-of-the-art drone and LiDAR technology

• Planning application submissions, including design access statements and visual illustrations tailored to meet local authority standards

• Building control and construction-stage services, ensuring that designs are implemented with full compliance and that every detail meets regulatory and safety standards

What truly sets Clarion apart is their ability to blend aesthetic creativity with functional planning. Every layout, elevation, and structural detail is carefully considered to suit the individual lifestyle and objectives of each client—while also gaining the necessary approvals.

Expert Surveying for Property Condition, Defects & Legal Compliance

Reliable reports that inform better decisions and secure investment

Clarion’s surveying arm brings the weight of professional accreditation and decades of field experience to every inspection. Whether a homeowner is buying a new property, addressing a long-standing defect, or preparing to undertake structural works, Clarion’s surveyors provide comprehensive and accurate guidance.

Their surveying services include:

• RICS HomeBuyer and Full Building Surveys, essential for those purchasing or reviewing a property’s current condition. These detailed reports identify defects, estimate repair costs, and highlight urgent issues requiring attention.

• Structural and defect surveys, offering focused insights into specific problems such as subsidence, timber decay, roofing issues, or poor drainage.

• Drone and LiDAR-enhanced inspections, providing high-resolution data for inaccessible areas—ideal for roof assessments, rural buildings, and historical sites.

• Party Wall surveying and dispute resolution, helping neighbours navigate legal obligations under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996, from notices to formal Awards.

Clarion’s reports are known for being well-structured, easy to understand, and visually supported with annotated photographs. This allows clients—especially those new to property matters—to move forward with clarity and confidence.

Locally Rooted, Regionally Connected

Responsive, agile, and deeply connected to Sussex communities

While Clarion’s professional scope spans much of the South East, its Hastings base gives it a local advantage—allowing the firm to respond quickly to site visits, planning enquiries, and urgent inspections. The team’s understanding of local building types—from Edwardian terraces to countryside farmhouses—ensures every recommendation is made with regional knowledge in mind.

Clients often remark on the personable and approachable service they receive from the Clarion team. Surveyors and designers alike take time to explain processes, answer questions in plain English, and support clients through what can often be a stressful experience. It’s this friendly professionalism that has cemented Clarion’s strong word-of-mouth reputation.

They also maintain strong relationships with local planning departments, engineers, builders, and conservation officers—ensuring projects run smoothly from concept to completion.
