Remedial Works

We can provide detailed plans, scope of works and specifications for repair works for problems such as Fire, Flood, Subsidence. We also carry out interim inspections to ensure the works are completed in line with specification by the contractor.

Structural Reports

Structural reports are required when an individual encounters structural problems with their property. The issues may range from structural cracks, Subsidence, fire and flood damage or other building defects. The building inspection focuses on the investigation of structural defects and reporting to the client on what repair works are required. Our experienced structural engineers can produce a detailed structural report outlining the issues, solutions and aproximate costings of the building repairs. Below you can see a common list of defects for which we are regularly asked to create a structural report on:

• Subsidence
• Dilapidations
• Structural cracking to interior and external structure.
• Fire and storm Damage
• Flood damage
• Accident damage
• Roof leakage
• Water ingress
• Damage due to leaking drains
• Drainage issues
• Condensation problems
• Expansion Cracking
• Cavity Wall Tie Corrosion
• Corrosion of Metal Built into Walls
• Vibration of Built in Fixings
• Roof Spread
• Springing from Deflected Beams
• Lack of Lateral Stability
• Lack of Lateral Stability in Modern Gable Walls
• Overloaded Beams
• Absence of Lintels (Beams) Over Openings in Cavity Walls
• Overloaded Floors
• Overloaded Walls
• Differential Movement
• Arch Thrust and Arch Flattening
• Load Path Cracking
• Bulging of Walls due to Decay of Bonding Timbers
• Bulging and Separation in Solid Brick Walls
• Floor Slab Settlement (Compaction)
• Load Concentrations
• Sulphate Attack
• Concrete Block Shrinkage

Structural report cost varies depending on the age of building, size of building , type of report required and location. Call 01 491 2415 today or email info@pkt.ie for a quotation.
