Eastbourne and Bexhill have a mix of Victorian and Edwardian town houses and villas, seafront buildings, and large areas of 1930s and post-war bungalows and semis. Ground conditions vary from chalk near the South Downs to clays and soft ground on the low-lying levels, so movement can look very different from one street to the next. Coastal exposure also takes its toll on older masonry, render and bay windows. We regularly work in BN20, BN21, BN22, BN23, TN39 and TN40.

Common reasons clients in Eastbourne & Bexhill call us
• Cracking in Victorian and Edwardian houses and bay windows
• Movement on clay and soft ground near the levels
• Weathering of exposed masonry and render near the seafront
• Checks on previous alterations, extensions and removed walls
• Pre-purchase checks after a RICS survey flags a concern

Because we also design drainage, we can identify when a leaking drain is behind the movement and design the fix.

Guide prices: specific inspection of one defect £950 + VAT, general inspection of the whole property approx. £1,700 + VAT.
