Residential Structural Surveys Essex

Whether you require a structural survey for peace of mind, or as a condition of your mortgage application, our members advice will prove invaluable to you.

Our members can either look at a specific defect to the property or carry out a full structural survey. They can also offer just a verbal report, prior to an auction.

Our structural engineers in Essex have experience of both traditional and non-traditional forms of construction, including precast concrete houses, steel framed system built houses or timber framed houses.

Expert structural reports produced by members of the Essex Structural Network are based on a detailed, non-intrusive, visual examination of the property. However, for non-traditional forms of construction, it is often necessary to carry out further intrusive investigation and testing, and our members can advise on this.
