Structural survey · Sheffield

Structural surveys in Sheffield. An engineer’s answer to the crack.

A structural survey looks at one problem in depth: a crack, a bulge, a sloping floor. An engineer works out the cause, whether it is still moving and what fixing it involves.

FAQ

Structural Survey in Sheffield: your questions

What is a structural survey?

A structural engineer’s inspection of a specific problem, such as a crack, bowing wall or sloping floor, to find the cause and the fix.

Is it the same as a Level 3 survey?

No. A Level 3 covers the whole home’s condition. A structural survey goes deep on one structural issue, often one a Level 3 flagged.

Are all cracks a problem?

No. Many are old settlement or plaster shrinkage. The engineer’s job is to tell the harmless from the ones still moving.

Should I get one before I buy?

If a survey flags movement, yes. The report gives you the cost of the fix to negotiate with.

How old are homes in Sheffield?

There isn’t a local estimate for Sheffield. Tell the surveyor the home’s age when you book.
