A structural inspection is often only performed when a structural defect or issue is identified or suspected. Often as part of the process of a Home Buyer’s Survey if any structural problems are suspected they will be documented for further investigation by an expert structural engineer, who’ll be able to determine the specific problem and advise on the practical techniques to put right. When there is a larger suspected problem or the building’s history is especially poor, a general structural inspection may be performed which will require an inspection of the whole structure and all load-bearing components of the building, along with inspections of the surrounding site and any possible effects it might have, such as drainage issues or any trees near to the foundations of the home.
Structural surveys can also be carried out on an ad hoc basis on existing buildings if you suspect any kind of structural defect, such as cracking in walls, sagging of ceilings or roofs, or subsistence around the foundations of the building. When looking for a structural engineer, look for Chartered Surveyors who’ll be members of either the Institution of Structural Engineers or the Institution of Civil Engineers.

The London Borough of Lewisham is a London borough in south-east London, England and forms a part of Inner London. The borough wasestablished in 1965, by the London Government Act 1963, as an amalgamation of the former area of the Metropolitan Borough of Lewisham along with the Metropolitan Borough of Deptford, which had been created in 1900 as divisions of the County of London. However, minor boundary alterations have occurred since its creation. One of the most important amendments were made in 1996, when the former area of the Royal Docks in Deptford was transferred from the London Borough of Greenwich.
The local authority is Lewisham London Borough Council and it is based in Catford. The borough covers a total area of around 13.57 square miles. It is encompassed by the Royal Borough of Greenwich to the east, the London Borough of Bromley to the south along with the London Borough of Southwark to the west. The River Thames forms a short section of northern boundary together with the Isle of Dogs in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. Deptford Creek, Pool River, River Quaggy and River Ravensbourne pass via the borough.
As outlined by population estimates produced during 2014, Lewisham is a borough with about 291933 permanent residents. Around 43 per cent of homes are owner-occupiers. The Prime Meridian passes through Lewisham. Blackheath, Goldsmiths, University of London and Millwall F.C. are positioned within the borough.
