Structural reports are a vital part of building maintenance and proposed alterations, they can prove your property is structurally sound, and are an integral part of securing a mortgage and purchasing a property.
When something goes wrong with your property - whether it's damp and water ingress, cracking, subsidence or other causes - it's essential that a proper investigation is carried out and then a subsequent structural report is produced.
Our expert structural reports outline our findings from the inspection in terms you can understand, explain why these things are occurring to your property, and provide recommendations for any repairs, if necessary, to improve the structure of your property.

We are often asked by prospective house purchasers to provide a structural report for a mortgage.
When you are looking to purchase a property you are required to get a Valuation Survey carried out.
These are very basic reports that can help your mortgage lender value the property and decide whether they can approve the mortgage.
Sometimes these basic valuation for mortgage surveys throw up potential issues with the property, like suspected movement or damp and water ingress issues.
In this case, we would come to the property and carry out an inspection of the reported defect and provide a structural report.

Are you concerned about cracks in walls and/or ceilings?
While cracking can be associated with subsidence and movement caused by damp and water ingress issues, sometimes cracks in walls and ceilings can appear in your home for more innocent reasons.
If you have concerns about cracking and movement to your property, Philip Goacher Associates will visit to carry out a preliminary visual inspection (PVI) and provide a report.
During the PVI we will measure cracks, test for damp, inspect roof spaces and chimney breasts and inspect both the inside and the outside of the property.

We can provide structural reports on the load-carrying capacity of floors, the load-bearing nature of walls, suitability of foundations, and recommend any strengthening works that need to be carried out before work can progress or to ensure a property meets Building Regulations standards.
We will confirm at pre-design stage whether your proposals are possible, and we can give advice on preliminary design to help with project costings, allowing contractors to more accurately price the works.

Solar panels are a popular method of achieving energy conservation, but it's vital to carry out calculations to check your roof can support the weight of the panels before you make your commitment to the environment.
Philip Goacher Associates can produce solar panel reports to outline the suitability of solar panels for your property.
We have extensive experience of checking the additional loading from photovoltaic (solar) panels and, where necessary, we can design appropriate strengthening solutions to ensure your roof can support solar panels.
