Our structural engineer’s specific defect report is recommended where there is only one localised structural issue, such as a single crack in a wall or a bulging wall. This is also known as a Specific Structural Inspection or SSI for short.
FEES START AT £ 1,000 +vat for this partial inspection.
Our Chartered Structural Engineer will carry out an inspection and identify whether the defect is a structural problem and offer guidance on options for repairs and remedial works and the estimated cost of any repairs.
A specific defect report (Or Specific Inspection Report) is suitable if you believe the rest of the property is sound, but you have concerns about one aspect, such as:
• A crack in a specific location such as a bay window or other specific location.
• Bulging wall
• Sagging floor or roof timbers
• A building regulations issue, such as the removal of a chimney breast or wall, often without certification paperwork.
• Proximity of a tree, when clay soils prevail and is a subsidence threat
• Drainage proximity or failure, which could cause subsidence.
