    Small Cracks Can Point to Bigger Problems

    Cracks in walls, ceilings, brickwork, render or concrete should not be ignored. While some cracks may be minor, others can indicate movement, settlement, moisture issues or structural concerns that need proper assessment.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      What is a crack inspection?

      A crack inspection is an independent check of visible cracks in a property. It may include cracks in walls, ceilings, floors, brickwork, render, concrete and other accessible areas.

      When should I book a crack inspection?

      You should book a crack inspection when cracks appear suddenly, continue spreading, return after repairs, appear near openings or are accompanied by movement, gaps, uneven floors or sticking doors.

      Are all cracks serious?

      No. Some cracks may be minor, but others can indicate movement, settlement, moisture issues or structural concerns. A crack inspection helps assess visible signs and identify whether further review may be needed.

      Does a crack inspection replace an engineer’s report?

      No. A crack inspection provides practical advice on visible cracking and related building concerns. If engineering calculations, design advice or certification are required, further review by a qualified structural engineer may be recommended.

      Do I receive a report after the inspection?

      Yes. You receive a clear report with photos, notes and practical comments on visible cracks and related condition concerns identified during the inspection.
