STRUCTURAL INSPECTIONS

Structural inspections by an engineer — not a checklist.

Cracks, movement, a new-build defect list, or a pre-purchase check — get a structural engineer's opinion, not a generalist's guess. Full photo report within 48 hours.

Book an inspection Why an engineer?
WHO IT'S FOR

One inspection, four reasons to book it.

Homeowners

Worried about a crack, or buying a house and want a second opinion on its condition before you commit.

Builders

Need a structural read on an existing wall, floor or roof before you price the job.

Architects

Assessing an existing building's condition before you design around it.

New-build buyers

Pre-completion or warranty-period structural inspections, carried out with an engineer's eye.

THE ENGINEER ADVANTAGE

The difference between a checklist and a structural opinion.

TYPICAL INSPECTOR
· Cosmetic finish — paint, sealant, scratches · Doors, windows and fittings operation · Visual tidiness of plumbing and electrics · Standard checklist, no engineering judgement · Can't tell a shrinkage crack from movement
RM STRUCTURAL-LED INSPECTION
✓  Everything on the cosmetic list — and then the structure ✓  Settlement and movement cracks assessed, not just logged ✓  Build quality judged against Building Regs & NHBC standards ✓  Roof structure, lintels, DPC and drainage checked with an engineer's eye ✓  Defects prioritised by severity, so you know what to push the developer on
WHAT WE INSPECT

Top to bottom, inside and out.

Structural movement & cracking

Cracking assessed and classified, floors checked for level, walls for plumb — with an engineering judgement on cause and severity.

Pre-purchase condition

A structural read on a property before you buy — what's cosmetic, what's a genuine concern, and what to ask the seller.

New-build inspections

The full defect list a standard inspector checks, plus the structural assessment a generalist doesn't do.

External envelope

Brickwork, pointing, DPC, weep holes, render and cladding — checked against good practice and warranty standards.

Roof & loft structure

Roof structure, felt, insulation, ventilation and visible workmanship inside the loft.

Externals & drainage

Driveways, paths, garden levels, fencing, garage and surface-water drainage.

✓
Standards referenced — defects tied to Building Regulations and NHBC tolerances where relevant.
✓
Professional format — a document you can send straight to a developer, seller or your own file.

Engineer follow-up — questions after you've read it? Your engineer is on the phone, included.
Delivered within 48 hours of inspection.

WHEN TO BOOK

Timing matters, whatever the reason.

NOTICED A CRACK

Don't wait to find out

Most cracks are cosmetic — but the ones that aren't get more expensive the longer they're left.

BEFORE YOU BUY

Know before you commit

A structural opinion alongside your survey — so nothing structural is a surprise after completion.

NEW-BUILD

Before legal completion

Maximum leverage — the developer fixes defects before you move in, on their programme, not yours.

WARRANTY DEADLINE

Before it runs out

Approaching the end of your builder's warranty? An engineer-led inspection catches what you'll otherwise pay to fix.
