Structural Surveys & Subsidence
Specialist inspections to diagnose movement, cracking, and foundation issues
Our Structural & Subsidence Surveys provide a detailed investigation into the causes and extent of structural movement affecting your property. Whether you’ve noticed cracking, uneven floors, or separation around doors and windows, our RICS Chartered Surveyors carry out a thorough assessment to identify the source of the problem and recommend appropriate solutions.
We examine walls, ceilings, doors, windows and even the drainage, and surrounding ground conditions to determine whether the movement is historical, ongoing, or progressive. Each report includes photographic evidence, professional analysis, and clear guidance on remedial options or further structural investigation where required.
Our goal is to help you understand the risk, plan the right repairs, and protect your property’s long-term stability and value with confidence.

Why Choose a Structural Survey for Subsidence?
Because when it comes to structural movement, early diagnosis is critical to protect your property and it's value.
What is a Structural Survey for Subsidence?
This specialist survey focuses on identifying signs of subsidence or structural movement. Conducted by a qualified building surveyor or structural engineer, it includes a detailed inspection of cracks, foundation behaviour, ground movement, and building stability. The report provides expert analysis and tailored recommendations for repairs or further investigations.
When do I need one?
You should commission a subsidence survey if you notice cracking, sloping floors, sticking doors/windows, or if a lender or insurer has flagged concerns. It’s also essential if you’re buying a property with suspected movement or a history of structural issues.
Why choose a specialist surveyor?
Only experienced surveyors or engineers can accurately assess and diagnose the causes of structural movement. Their insight ensures the right action is taken, avoiding misdiagnosis, over-spending, or insurance issues. We have assessed and successfully diagnosed over 3000 cases of structural movement, some of which are caused by subsidence or other types of structural movement.

Our inspections are thorough, objective, and focused on helping you take the right next step, whether that’s reassurance, further investigation, or remedial work.

Very very good. Good Comms, structured easy to understand report, quick to book. The drone survey was a real bonus that highlighted some issues. Property recently refurbished but still some issues we were not aware so worth the money we spent.
