Common Issues We Are Asked to Investigate

Issues such as cracked plaster, uneven finishes, faulty roof coverings, poorly installed windows or doors, defective tiling, and badly fitted kitchens or bathrooms.

Examples include missing or inadequate structural supports, damp or leaks following recent work, poor insulation or ventilation, and unsafe or non-compliant layouts.

Such as movement, subsidence, structural cracking, altered load-bearing walls, or incorrectly installed lintels or beams.

Work that does not meet Building Regulations, Approved Documents, British Standards, planning requirements, or the original drawings/specifications.

Use of unsuitable materials, inadequate waterproofing or flashing, incorrect foundations, poor fixing methods, or failed render/roofing systems.

Unsafe wiring, uncertified electrical work, leaks, faulty boilers, poorly installed bathrooms and kitchens, and defects causing damp or internal damage.

Overcharging, payment for unfinished work, unexpected “extras,” and disputes over the cost of putting problems right.

Identifying what has been done properly, what is defective, and what remains outstanding—including the cost to complete the works correctly.

Roof leaks, failed detailing, missing damp-proof courses, condensation issues, and leaks from bathrooms or pipework.

Accidental or structural damage, water leaks, and issues affecting adjoining properties.

Our reports are regularly used in mediation, adjudication, arbitration, insurance claims and court proceedings.
