Residential Surveys

JMS provides residential structural surveys for people buying, selling, altering or repairing homes. The service helps clients understand whether visible cracking, movement, previous alterations or suspected defects need further action.

A qualified structural engineer inspects the relevant areas of the property and considers the likely structural causes, risks and practical remedies. The assessment can cover walls, floors, roofs, foundations, extensions, retaining walls and other structural elements.

The report explains findings in plain language and gives proportionate recommendations, from monitoring and minor repairs through to further investigation or structural design input.

For homebuyers, the aim is confidence before committing. For homeowners and landlords, it gives a practical route toward repair, alteration or peace of mind.
