Structural Inspection in Wallington

A structural inspection is generally only completed when a structural defect or issue is identified or suspected. Generally during the procedure of a Home Buyer’s Survey if any structural problems are suspected they’ll be documented for further investigation by a specialist structural engineer, who will be able to identify the specific problem and recommend the possible solutions to rectify. Where there is a larger suspected problem or the building’s history is particularly poor, a general structural inspection may be completed which will require an evaluation of the complete structure and all load-bearing aspects of the building, together with inspections of the surrounding site and any potential influences it might have, such as drainage issues or any trees near to the foundations of the home.

Any structural inspection will recommend the possible scope of any repair work that is required to rectify the issue. When searching 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.
