Key Structural Defects in Altrincham Properties
1. Large-Scale Structural Extensions & Load Transfer
Many prime Trafford properties feature large rear open-plan kitchen extensions. We inspect steel lintel installations, deflection cracks, and thermal bridging.
2. 1930s Cavity Wall Tie Corrosion
In mid-century properties across Timperley and Sale, original mild steel wall ties are prone to rust expansion, causing horizontal mortar bed cracking.
3. Flat Roof Balconies & Glazed Roof Lanterns
