Merton’s housing ranges from large Victorian and Edwardian houses around Wimbledon Village and Wimbledon Park to Edwardian terraces and 1930s semi-detached homes in Raynes Park, Morden and Mitcham. Most of the borough is on London Clay, and its mature street and garden trees make seasonal clay shrinkage a common cause of cracking. We regularly work in SW19, SW20, CR4 and SM4.
Common reasons clients in Wimbledon & Merton call us
• Cracking linked to London Clay and mature trees
• Movement in bay windows and older extensions
• Wall removals and open-plan kitchen extensions
• Loft conversions in Edwardian and 1930s houses
• 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.

• Laurel Road, Wimbledon: structural engineering for a private home.
Local questions
There’s a large tree near my house in Wimbledon and the cracks are getting worse in summer. What should I do?
Get the cracks inspected and monitored through the seasons. Before any tree work, check with the council, as parts of Wimbledon are conservation areas and many trees have Tree Preservation Orders. Removing a large tree on clay can also cause heave, so it needs proper advice.
Can I do a hip-to-gable loft conversion on my 1930s semi in Morden or Raynes Park?
Usually, yes. These houses suit hip-to-gable and dormer conversions. We design the new gable wall support, steel beams and loft floor, and check the existing walls and foundations can take the extra load.
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
