Your Questions Answered

Common questions about structural defects and repairs.

Are my cracks serious?

Most hairline cracks are cosmetic, but wider, growing or diagonal cracks can signal movement. An inspection tells you which is which.

Is it subsidence?

Not always. Cracks can also come from settlement, failed lintels or wall ties. We identify the real cause before any repair.

How much does it cost?

Every property is different, so we give you a free, no-obligation quote for the inspection and any repairs.

How quickly can you help?

We work efficiently to arrange your inspection and deliver your report within your timeline, without compromising on accuracy.

What do you need from me?

A brief description of the problem, the full property address and, if possible, photos of the cracks or damage.

Can you do the repairs?

Yes. Our construction team can carry out the recommended repairs, so you have one point of contact from start to finish.
