Our Chartered Engineers provide Structural surveys to homeowners in Bristol, Bath and the South-West

About our company

We have provided hundreds of specialist structural surveys across England and Wales following referrals from RICs Level 3 surveys.

We heard so many stories of clients complaining that their RICS reports failed to explain the causes of the problems identified, and heard their frustration that they had to obtain a second survey from a structural engineer in order to find a solution.

We understand that buying and maintaining a home is the biggest investment most of us will make in our lives. We believe consumers deserve better. So we set up The Structural Survey Company with the aim of providing the clearest, most thorough and most comprehensive surveys on the market. We will give you our expertise in clear language, with a detailed photographic record, and we will always give you the causes and the solutions to any problems encountered without referring you to third parties.

Our Services

Our comprehensive property inspection services ensure that every detail is meticulously evaluated by experienced professionals, providing you with peace of mind and informed decision-making. Trust in our commitment to quality.

  • If you have been recommended a Structural Engineer’s survey/report by a RICS Surveyor, bank or insurer then this is the report you need.

    our services would include:

    • a review of the RICS survey (if available), 

    • a desk-based search on the history of the property and the local geology,

    • a site inspection to appraise the current condition and where appropriate compare this to any repair works carried out previously, 

    • provision of a report summarising the above information and our advice.

    The report will include a description of the defects, our opinion on their severity, the cause, whether they are due to foundation movement, whether the damage is likely to be covered by insurance and the type of remedial works or further investigations that we consider necessary.



  • This is equivalent to a Level 3 survey, as would be carried out by a RICS Surveyor, combined with a general structural condition survey. This is particularly well suited to historic properties which may require refurbishment or properties with suspected issues.

    We inspect:

    • Roof structure and coverings

    • Garden, boundary walls and outbuildings

    • Main walls

    • Floors

    • High level review of connected services (gas, fuse box, water and drainage), excluding specialist testing.

    • Chimney stacks

    • Signs of damp and water ingress.

    • Rainwater pipes

    • Dangerous or defective materials

    Our report will provide you with a comprehensive overview of the condition of the property and any remedial actions that we consider to be required.

  • We can provide party wall notices for £300. In the event of a dispute we can act as Building Owner’s, Adjoining Owner’s or Agreed Surveyor.
