Hi,
Does anyone have any recommendations for a structural engineer specialising in subsidence? I’m concerned about some of the cracks in the ceiling/wall both inside and outside of my flat and I’d quite like a professional to tell me whether I’m just being hyper paranoid or if there’s something genuinely to worry about.
Best,
Nicole
Speak to your insurer.
If it’s a new build block of flats it may just be settlement cracks. I’m a bricklayer.
I’m not a structural engineer, but I can recommend a surveyor who has done surveys for me in the past.

I’ve had a few cracks open up in my own flat. It can be worrying but it’s worth remembering that we’re on clay here, and the unusually, continuously hot and dry summer will have had some minor impact on the soil and root formations. Anything under 3-5mm is generally nothing to worry about…
Anyone have any recommendations for a structural engineer re providing plans/ specs for RSJ ( taking down load bearing wall in kitchen).
Thanks,
Luke

Thanks have sent you a PM
I’m looking for a structural survey for a property we are buying, and looking for recommendations.
The property we currently own we only did a simple homebuyer survey on so have no previous experience (although luckily no issues over the 5+ years here).
