Crack & Movement Structural Assessment
Noticed cracks in your walls, ceilings, or brickwork? Our Crack and Structural Movement Assessments provide expert analysis to determine whether the issue is cosmetic or structural.
Inspections are carried out by Structural Engineers, structural surveys are signed off by Chartered Structural Engineers (MIStructE or MICE) and are available UK-wide, with clear, actionable reporting for homeowners, buyers, landlords, and developers.
What We Assess
-
Internal and external wall cracks
-
Step cracking, bulging walls, or uneven floors
-
Subsidence, settlement or heave
-
Movement in extensions, lofts or bay windows
-
Past structural alterations and their impact
We identify the root cause of the issue, assess the severity, and advise on whether repairs or further investigations are needed. If required, we’ll provide a written structural report suitable for mortgage lenders, insurers, or contractors.
