Structural Engineer Reports in Trinity

Why Trinity keeps us busy

Every working week we are somewhere in Trinity, often within a short walk of Trinity Crescent and Newhaven Harbour. The building stock here has its own character, and the ground beneath it has its own habits. Knowing both is the difference between a fix that lasts and a repair you have to revisit.

Trinity's seaside villas were built on a mix of stiff boulder clay and softer marine deposits towards the shore. Buildings nearer the harbour edge are most exposed to ground-moisture changes from the Forth.

Structural Engineer Reports done properly

A homebuyer report has used the word movement. The lender wants a specialist letter. Your buyer is hesitating. A vague or hedged report stalls the sale. A copy-paste template gets pulled apart by the lender's surveyor. Either way, the chain wobbles.

A clear, photographed, chartered engineer report that says what is wrong, what to do about it, and what the cost looks like. Your lender, your buyer and your solicitor get the same document and can move forward.

Three things Trinity owners get from us

• Local context. We know which streets in Trinity sit on made ground, which ones drain badly, and which ones have a tree problem. The first visit reflects that.
• Engineer-signed work. Every scheme we put in is signed off by a chartered structural engineer before any tools come out of the van.
• Reports your insurer recognises. Cause, scheme, photographs, costs. The format the loss adjusters in this city already know.
