A structural inspection is often only carried out when a structural defect or issue is recognised or suspected. Often as part of the process of a Home Buyer’s Survey if any structural problems are suspected they’ll be noted for additional investigation by an experienced structural engineer, who’ll be able to identify the precise problem and suggest the practical methods to rectify. If there is a larger suspected issue or the building’s background is especially poor, a general structural inspection may be completed which will involve an evaluation of the whole structure and all load-bearing elements of the building, along with inspections of the surrounding site and any possible influences it might have, such as drainage issues or any trees near the foundations of the house.
Any structural inspection will recommend the potential range of any repair work that is required to correct 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.

The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea is an inner London borough of Royal borough status, to the west of the centre. The borough was established in 1965 from the former boroughs of Kensington and Chelsea. Kensington’s Royal Borough status was inherited by the new borough. It covers an area of 4.68 square miles. As the smallest borough in London and the second smallest district in England, this urban area is one of the most densely populated within the UK.
In 2005, the borough had more of its land covered by domestic buildings than anywhere else in England at 19 per cent, which is over 50% of the national average. It also had the fifth highest proportion of land covered by non-domestic buildings at 12 per cent.
The borough is immediately towards the west of the City of Westminster and to the east of the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham. It consists of major museums and universities in Albertopolis, department stores like Harrods, Peter Jones and Harvey Nichols, and embassies in Belgravia, Knightsbridge and Kensington Gardens. It’s home to the Notting Hill Carnival, Europe’s largest. It consists of a lot of the most costly residential districts in London and even in the world, in addition to districts with high levels of social housing and poverty. The local authority is Kensington and Chelsea London Borough Council. The borough’s motto is Quam Bonum in Unum Habitare, which is usually roughly translated as ‘How good to dwell in unity’.
