One defect, inspected properly. When something specific is wrong, or looks wrong, an engineer’s targeted inspection gives you the answer.

Defects we inspect every week

• Cracked, bowed or leaning walls
• Sagging or springy floors
• Roof spread and sagging ridges
• Failed or missing lintels
• Wall-tie corrosion in cavity walls
• Cracked or leaning chimneys
• Movement around openings, bays and extensions

Diagnosis before remedy

The building repair industry sells remedies; an independent engineer sells diagnosis. Wall ties, underpinning and crack stitching are all proper repairs, for the right problem. Our inspection establishes the cause first, so you only pay for work the building actually needs.

The report

Cause, significance, and remedy, in plain English, with photographs, suitable for insurers, lenders, builders’ quotes or your own peace of mind.

Why an independent survey matters

We are an independent firm of structural engineers, not tied to any estate agent, lender or builder. Our only job is to tell you the truth about the building. Established in 1981, we have inspected thousands of homes across Leeds and West Yorkshire, and our reports are accepted by mortgage lenders, solicitors and insurers.

What you get

• A clear written report in plain English, with photographs
• A definite answer: is it serious, is it historic, does it need monitoring or repair
• Repair recommendations and, where needed, outline costs
• Fast turnaround, reports typically delivered within days of inspection

We survey across Leeds, Wakefield, Bradford, Harrogate and all of West Yorkshire, see all areas and services.
