Record what can be seen
Look at the position, pattern and extent of the visible concern, together with relevant surrounding brickwork.
Inspection & defect assessment
Understand what is happening before deciding what to do
A crack, damaged brick or failing joint does not always reveal its cause. We examine the visible brickwork, consider the information around it and help you understand what needs attention and what should happen next.
Tell us about your brickwork concernWho it is for
For property owners and professionals who need clarity
Homeowners, housing providers, surveyors and property managers can use this service when brickwork is cracking, moving, leaning, bulging, weathered or damaged, or when workmanship is causing concern. The scope is agreed around the property and the decision you need to make.
What the assessment can help with
Put the concern in context
Consider the wall construction, openings, earlier work and other available information that may affect the brickwork.
Identify sensible next steps
Explain whether further observation, a defined repair scope or input from another qualified specialist should be considered.
Support later planning
Where the work can be defined, the information may also support remedial planning or an estimating enquiry.
Start with the information you have
- Step 1
Send the location, a clear description of the concern and when you first noticed it.
- Step 2
Tell us whether overview photographs, close-ups, drawings or previous reports are available.
- Step 3
We review the enquiry and confirm the appropriate scope and quotation before any work is agreed.
No cause, repair or outcome can be confirmed from website information alone. If engineering, surveying or another regulated service is needed, that work is carried out by an appropriately qualified professional.
