Explained
Understanding the condition of a 
building is essential for safety, 
compliance, and long-term value. At 
CSP London, we provide a range of 
structural surveys designed to 
identify issues early and support 
informed decisions. Here are six key 
types of structural surveys we offer, 
explained in a simple and practical 
way.
1. Visual 
Structural

inspection of a property. Our

elements such as walls, 
ceilings, beams, and 
foundations to identify cracks, 
movement, or wear. It’s ideal 
for initial assessments or 
routine checks.
2. Detailed 
Structural Survey
A more in-depth analysis that may 
include minor intrusive methods to 
examine hidden structural 
components. This survey provides a 
clearer understanding of a building’s 
integrity and is often recommended 
for older or complex structures.
3. Pre-Purchase 
Structural Survey
Before buying a property, this survey 
helps identify potential structural issues 
that could lead to costly repairs. CSP 
London provides clear, actionable 
reports so buyers can make confident 
decisions.
4. Structural 
Defect Analysis
If a building shows signs of damage 
such as cracks, subsidence, or 
water ingress this survey focuses 
on identifying the root cause. Our 
experts also recommend practical 
solutions to address the problem 
effectively.

commercial buildings.

buildings where RAAC is suspected.
