A structural inspection is normally only carried out when a structural defect or problem is recognised or suspected. Often during the process of a Home Buyer’s Survey if any structural problems are suspected they will be noted for additional investigation by a skilled structural engineer, who’ll be able to determine the specific problem and advise on the practical methods to correct. If there is a larger suspected issue or the building’s background is particularly poor, a general structural inspection may be performed which will require an inspection of the whole structure and all load-bearing areas of the building, alongside inspections of the surrounding site and any potential effects it might have, such as drainage issues or any trees close to the foundations of the building.
Any structural inspection will suggest the likely extent of any repair work that is required to put right the issue. When looking for a structural engineer, look for Chartered Surveyors who will be members of either the Institution of Structural Engineers or the Institution of Civil Engineers.

Anerley is a district inside the south east of London in the London Borough of Bromley. It is west of Bromley and is 7 miles south south-east of Charing Cross. It is the former site of the Crystal Palace.
Anerley hasn’t ever been its own independent entity, but always a general district. Prior to the closure and relocation of the Crystal Palace to Penge Place at the top of Sydenham Hill, Anerley was an empty part of Penge Common that didn’t develop till the 1800s. In 1827, a Scottish silk manufacturer, William Sanderson, purchased land around the former Penge Common, and constructed the first residence in the district. He named it ‘Anerly’, which is a Scottish word for ‘solitary’ or ‘only’, and also the road then became called Anerley Road plus the vicinity.
There are lots of transport links in Anerley, which includes 9 bus routes, two A roads, two rail stations and one London Overground station and aTram station at Birkbeck station. Transport for London had proposed the extension of Tramlink services from Harrington Road tram stop to the bus station on Crystal Palace Parade via Anerley Road, but Mayor Boris Johnson cancelled the £170m extension in November 2008.
Notable individuals that lived in Anerley consist of Thomas Crapper, who promoted the flush toilet, in his retirement; Walter de la Mare, renowned poet and author of ghost stories; and James Leavey, award winning Punch magazine columnist.
