Quality Proofreading Services in the UK
We are an experienced professional proofreading services company with excellent customer service.
London Proofreaders is the UK’s leading proofreading services company in 2025 – We use two proofreaders
We use a two-proofreader system. This means every single document sent to us is proofread by two of our highly skilled human editors. Our two-proofreader model is central to our mission of providing the highest quality UK proofreading and editing service which combines proofreading and editing on every document.
We were the first company in the UK to offer the two-proofreader model. We believe that two proofreaders are better than one and we are sure that you will agree! One proofreader, regardless of how experienced they are, can still skip over errors in your document. We are the only company in the UK that uses the unique two-proofreader model as standard. Our high quality proofreading service improves your writing and we only use the best editors with advanced degrees.
We edit all types of documents:
We work with scientists, students, academics, researchers, businesses and authors. We proofread and edit everything from essays, papers, assignments, reports, personal statements, journal articles to theses or dissertations. We offer a precise, reasonably priced academic proofreading and PhD proofreading and thesis editing services.
