STRUCTURAL REPORTS AND APPRAISALS FOR LISTED BUILDINGS
We provide detailed structural reports and appraisals to confirm building safety, check previous work, or support planning permission applications. Our engineers assess floors, walls, and foundations and recommend strengthening measures. Reports cover structural adequacy, potential defects, and remedial works. As contract administrators, we can coordinate contractors, monitor works on-site, and issue Certificates of Structural Adequacy, ensuring compliance with building regulations. Serving Sussex, Surrey, Brighton, Horsham, Bognor Regis, and surrounding areas, our ISO 9001 certified Chartered Engineers, members of IStructE and ICE, bring over 35 years of experience.
MORTGAGE-READY STRUCTURAL ASSESSMENTS
Structural reports are often required to satisfy mortgage lenders when valuation surveys identify concerns such as cracks, damp, or movement. We inspect reported issues, explain their cause, and advise on any necessary repairs. Our reports can support mortgage approval and assist buyers during price negotiations, with follow-on structural design available if remedial works are required.
ASSESSING CRACKS AND PROPERTY MOVEMENT
Philip Goacher Associates in Worthing investigates cracks in walls and ceilings caused by subsidence, damp, or natural movement. We carry out detailed inspections, measuring cracks, checking levels, and assessing external factors such as trees or drainage. Reports explain whether movement is structural or cosmetic and outline appropriate repair solutions, with ongoing support available through contract administration.
ROOF LOAD CHECKS FOR SOLAR INSTALLATIONS
Before installing solar panels, we assess whether your roof can safely support the additional load. Our engineers carry out surveys and calculations and provide a clear suitability report. If strengthening is required, we design the necessary works and manage the process through to completion, ensuring compliance with safety standards and building regulations.
CLEAR REPORTS AND PRACTICAL GUIDANCE
When we carry out a structural inspection, we provide a clear, easy-to-understand report rather than technical jargon. Our findings explain what issues are urgent, what can be monitored, and what may not require action. Where further investigation is needed, we outline next steps and likely costs, helping clients plan with confidence and avoid unnecessary expenditure.
