Building Cracks & Movement Bournemouth
Seen a crack, sticking door or uneven floor in a Bournemouth property? We’ve got you covered.
When a Crack Needs Checking
Most small cracks are not a sign that a building is unsafe, but you should check a crack that is widening, has appeared with distortion, or sits beside a door or window that has started sticking. We inspect the building and explain what the evidence shows.
- Cracks that widen or reappear after repair
- Diagonal cracking around openings
- Uneven floors, bowing walls or doors that start to bind
What to Send Us
Send clear close and wider photographs, the property address, when you first noticed the issue and whether it has changed. Include any previous survey, insurance correspondence or work nearby.
Our Structural Inspection
We inspect the crack alongside the wall, floor, roof and foundations it may relate to. We do not diagnose movement from one photograph alone when the rest of the building needs checking.
Your Written Report
You receive a plain-English report explaining the likely cause, the seriousness of the issue and the next action. That may be monitoring, repair design, further investigation or reassurance that no structural repair is needed.
Monitoring Movement
If the evidence suggests ongoing movement, we can set out a sensible monitoring approach before anyone commits to repair work. A repair makes more sense once we know whether the building has stopped moving.
Structural Surveys Across Bournemouth
We inspect properties across Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch. If you are buying a flat or older conversion, send the surveyor’s comments as well as the photographs.
