Defects report following Home Buyers Survey

A problematic Home Buyers Survey doesn’t have to end your property purchase. If your survey identifies potential structural problems, our engineers can conduct a thorough structural investigation. We can then assess the structural issues, identify underlying causes and recommend practical repair solutions.

All site investigations are performed by experienced Chartered Structural Engineers, and our structural reports are written in plain English. This makes it easier for you to understand the findings and follow the recommended steps to remediate any problems.

Cracking, Subsidence Reports and Remedial Solutions

Cracks and subsidence can cause significant anxiety for property owners. Our structural engineers specialise in diagnosing the causes of cracking and subsidence through detailed structural analysis.

Our comprehensive structural reports include an external wall survey, basic ground survey, vegetation and tree root investigation, subsidence survey, and, where necessary, geotechnical surveying.

Based on our findings, we provide clear guidance on the best course of action, whether remedial work is necessary or not.

Assessment of structures undertaken without Building Regulations Approval

Building works completed without Building Regulations Approval should always be inspected by a qualified structural engineer. Our assessments ensure that these structures are safe and meet the necessary standards, safeguarding the occupants and satisfying insurers and mortgage lenders.

Our structural investigations offer a recognised path to obtaining Building Regulations Approval. And if structural integrity has been compromised, we provide advice on the required steps to rectify the situation.

Corroding Steel and Concrete Reports

Our structural engineers specialise in assessing damage to steel and concrete structures. Corrosion in these materials can significantly impact a building's safety and longevity. Our comprehensive structural surveys and reports identify the extent of the damage and recommend the best routes for repairs and remedial work.

Our detailed structural reports provide you with all the information you need to understand the issues affecting your property and the solutions available to maintain its structural integrity.
