Your property’s structural integrity depends on the condition of its foundations and load-bearing elements. Even minor movement or cracking can indicate underlying issues that may worsen over time if not properly assessed. That’s why our structural reports service provides a thorough, independent evaluation of your property, identifying defects early and supplying clear, professional documentation for insurance and risk assessment purposes.

Foundation movement & subsidence assessment

We carry out detailed inspections of foundations and ground conditions to identify signs of settlement, subsidence, or structural movement. Our reports explain the likely causes, severity, and implications for insurance purposes, supported by clear professional conclusions.

Crack analysis & structural defect reporting

From minor hairline cracking to significant structural fractures, we assess the type, pattern, and progression of cracks. Each structural report documents findings accurately, helping insurers determine whether damage is cosmetic, progressive, or structurally significant.

Damp & moisture impact evaluation

Excess moisture can affect structural performance over time. Our surveys assess the impact of damp, water ingress, and drainage issues on foundations and load-bearing elements, clearly distinguishing between structural and non-structural concerns.

Load-bearing & structural integrity review

Where additional scrutiny is required, we evaluate load-bearing walls, floors, and key structural components. Our reports provide a clear overview of the building’s structural condition, highlighting risks, limitations, and recommended next steps for insurers or property owners.

Recognising potential structural issues early can save time, stress, and ensure your property is accurately documented for insurance purposes. Common indicators that a structural survey may be required include:

• Cracks in walls or ceilings – Diagonal, widening, or irregular cracks can indicate movement in foundations or load-bearing elements.
• Doors and windows sticking – Frames that no longer open or close smoothly may signal structural shifting or settlement.
• Uneven or sloping floors – Sagging or slanted floors can point to subsidence, foundation movement, or soil instability.
• Damp or moisture problems – Persistent damp, mould, or water ingress near foundations can affect structural integrity over time.

If you notice any of these signs, arranging a professional structural report promptly can provide a clear, independent assessment for insurers, loss adjusters, or future property maintenance planning.

Why early structural reporting matters

A professional structural report helps quantify the risks, providing insurers and homeowners with a clear assessment of current conditions, potential future movement, and recommendations for monitoring or mitigation.

Early evaluation protects property value, informs insurance decisions, and supports safe, long-term management of your property.

How our structural reports support insurance decisions

Our independent structural reports provide clear, evidence-based documentation for insurers, loss adjusters, and homeowners.

Each report includes detailed findings, risk assessments, and professional recommendations, helping to facilitate insurance claims or underwriting decisions and support property sales or mortgage applications.
