Lewes has one of the richest collections of historic buildings in Sussex, from medieval timber-framed houses to Georgian town houses and flint cottages, much of it within a conservation area and many buildings listed. The town sits between chalk downland and the floodplain of the River Ouse, so ground conditions range from firm chalk to soft alluvium. Older buildings here often have shallow foundations and have been altered many times over the centuries. We regularly work in BN7, BN8, BN9 and BN25.
Common reasons clients in Lewes call us
• Movement and distortion in timber-framed and historic buildings
• Cracking in flint, brick and rendered walls
• Settlement on soft ground near the river
• Checks on alterations to listed and older buildings
• 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.
Extra options
• Chartered sign-off: for lenders and insurers who ask for a Chartered Structural Engineer. Price on request, so please mention it when you book.
• Express report: your report within 24 hours of the visit, for buyers close to exchange. Price on request.
• Site visit consultation: £480 inc. VAT. An engineer visits and gives verbal advice, without a written report. The fee is credited if you order a report within 30 days.
• Saturday visits by appointment.
