Professional Monitoring Surveys in London by Wimbledon Surveyors
What is the purpose of Movement Monitoring?
Concerned about cracks or structural shifts in your home or property? Their construction or monitoring services can offer you peace of mind during a stressful construction period, as they can provide you with detailed reports of the movement of your foundations over certain time frames.
Starting early monitoring as soon as possible on larger structural projects is of huge importance and even more so when being covered by The Party Wall Act 1996, which is more and more requested by neighbouring owners surveyors to make sure everything is kept within agreement.
How is movement monitored in Wimbledon London?
Different approaches can be taken to monitor movement, one of which is crack monitoring. For this approach, metal studs are placed on either side of an existing crack and regular readings are taken to identify if the crack is opening or closing, even by a millimeter.
Monitoring is usually conducted over 3 months to a year to identify if the area is continuing to move. Systems are installed at multiple points on adjacent properties building begins to provide early detection points if movement occurs in the adjacent properties before construction. This is so that the surveyor can rectify problems early.
