Professional Concrete Repair Survey
Our professional concrete repair surveys are designed for homeowners, landlords, and property managers who are experiencing cracking, spalling, surface damage or structural deterioration in concrete and need expert advice on how to put it right.
A typical concrete repair survey includes:
- Visual inspection of accessible concrete structures and surfaces
- Assessment of cracks, spalling, corrosion and other forms of concrete deterioration
- Inspection of exposed reinforcement and signs of rust or structural weakening
- Assessment of structural elements such as floors, walls, beams and concrete supports
- Investigation into possible causes such as water ingress, carbonation, corrosion or poor construction
- Professional recommendations for repair, strengthening or protective treatments
- A clear written quotation outlining the best course of action
All surveys are carried out by CSRT- or CSSW-qualified surveyors, ensuring professional, independent advice every time.

What’s Included
Our professional concrete repair surveys are designed for homeowners, landlords, property managers and buyers who are concerned about cracking, spalling, corrosion or structural deterioration in concrete structures.
A typical concrete repair survey includes:
- Visual inspection of accessible concrete areas including floors, walls, ceilings, beams and external structures.
- Assessment of cracks, spalling and surface deterioration, including severity and extent of damage.
- Inspection for exposed reinforcement and corrosion, which can weaken structural integrity.
- Assessment of structural concrete elements such as slabs, beams, columns and supports.
- Investigation into possible causes such as water ingress, carbonation, corrosion or poor construction.
- Professional recommendations for concrete repairs, strengthening or protective treatments.
- A clear written quotation or report outlining the most appropriate course of action.
All surveys are carried out by CSRT- or CSSW-qualified surveyors, ensuring professional, independent advice every time.
What’s not included
Please note that our concrete repair surveys are intended to assess visible concrete damage and recommend the most effective repair solutions.
They are not usually intended for:
- Detailed structural engineer calculations or design drawings required for major building works or structural redesign.
- Specialist reports for mortgage lenders, insurers or solicitors, unless specifically requested in advance.
- Invasive opening-up works such as breaking out concrete or exposing hidden reinforcement unless agreed beforehand.
- Laboratory testing or specialist material analysis of concrete samples.
- Full building surveys covering all aspects of the property condition.
If structural movement or cracks are affecting concrete elements, our Structural Survey may also be recommended.
If water ingress or damp is contributing to concrete deterioration, our Damp Survey or Basement Waterproofing Survey may also be appropriate.
Why a Professional Concrete Repair Survey Matters
Concrete issues such as cracking, spalling and corrosion are often misunderstood or left untreated, which can lead to ongoing deterioration, structural weakness and costly repairs.
A professional concrete repair survey ensures:
- The true cause of the damage is identified, whether it’s due to water ingress, corrosion, carbonation or structural movement
- The correct repair solution is recommended first time to prevent further deterioration
- You avoid unnecessary repairs or ineffective treatments that do not address the root problem
- Any underlying issues, such as moisture, structural stress or poor construction, are identified and addressed
- Potential structural risks are highlighted early, helping to protect your property and avoid more costly repairs later
Our aim is to provide clear, honest advice so you can make the right decision for your property and ensure the long-term durability of your concrete structures.
When Should You Book a Concrete Repair Survey?
If you’ve noticed signs of cracking, deterioration or damage in concrete within your property but aren’t sure what’s causing it, a professional concrete repair survey is the best way to get clear answers.
You should consider booking a survey if you’ve experienced:
- Cracks in concrete floors, walls or ceilings, especially if they are widening over time
- Spalling or flaking concrete, where the surface is breaking away or crumbling
- Exposed or rusting reinforcement (rebar), which can weaken structural integrity
- Discolouration, staining or damp patches, indicating possible water ingress
- Uneven or sinking concrete surfaces, suggesting possible movement or structural issues
- Signs of corrosion or long-term deterioration affecting concrete structures
Concrete problems can worsen over time and may lead to structural weakness and more costly repairs, so identifying the cause early can help protect your property and prevent further damage.
