Services
Structural Inspections
Our structural inspections identify building defects through comprehensive assessments of walls, floors, and foundations. Engineers measure cracks, test dampness, and evaluate structural integrity to determine necessary repairs. We provide detailed reports with recommendations for remedial works and future maintenance.
Subsidence Investigations
We diagnose subsidence issues through site investigations including trial pits and soil testing. Our engineers determine causes of ground movement and recommend appropriate underpinning or stabilisation solutions. Reports include detailed analysis of soil conditions and foundation requirements for affected properties.
Party Wall Advice
We provide expert guidance on Party Wall Act compliance for building works near property boundaries. Our surveyors prepare notices, negotiate awards, and document property conditions to protect both building owners and adjoining properties during construction projects.
Insurance Claims
We assess property damage from floods, fires, and storms for insurance claims. Our engineers work with loss adjusters to determine repair requirements and oversee reinstatement works. We provide detailed reports for insurers and property owners to facilitate claims processing.
Structural Design
We create structural designs and calculations for new builds and property alterations. Services include loft conversions, wall removals, and multi-storey extensions. Our designs meet building regulations and include detailed drawings for contractors to implement construction projects.
