Newham’s housing is largely Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Forest Gate, East Ham and Manor Park, with major new development around Stratford and the Royal Docks. Much of the borough sits on river terrace gravels and alluvium near the Thames and the Lea, and many terraces have been extended, converted into flats or had walls removed. We regularly work in E6, E7, E12, E13, E15 and E16.
Common reasons clients in Newham call us
• Checks on past alterations and conversions to flats
• Cracking in Victorian terraces and bay windows
• Loft conversions and rear extensions
• Wall removals and open-plan kitchens
• 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.
Local questions
My Forest Gate terrace was converted into flats years ago. How do I know the alterations were done properly?
Conversions often involved removing walls, adding openings and moving kitchens and bathrooms. We inspect for signs of inadequate support, such as sagging floors and cracking above openings, and tell you if opening up is needed.
Can I do a rear extension and loft conversion on my East Ham terrace at the same time?
Yes, and it’s often the best value. We design both together, so the steelwork, foundations and loads work as one scheme.
Guide prices: specific inspection of one defect £950 + VAT, general inspection of the whole property approx. £1,700 + VAT.
12+ years’ experience · £1,000,000 PI insurance · Site visit within 3 working days · 48-hour reports
