Structural Engineer - help!

Cracking in house wall. Mainly along one side, rising up through floors. We're mid-Victorian terrace.


Already had full checks for subsidence, drains, trees etc. and we know that the weather in the last few years hasn't been 'helpful' for cracks. We need to rent the house out so to ensure it was fixed 'for good' prior to decorating have removed render and found what can only be called 'a wall likely built by a blind orangutan with a stick, when very drunk'. Thanks, Victorians!


The current situation is we're helibarring and meshing and replacing main gaps and broken bricks. Need an eye to say whether we need to do anything else. We don't have much money nor time.


Recommendations please for anyone you've used who might be able to squeeze a super fast visit in. We have ALL the info they may need.


Thanks

    • Something doesn't quite smell right here and probably it's not  the chicken. Both the OP and TheWeekEnd specifically mention  chicken thigh fillets. TWE purchased £14 worth of chicken thigh fillets and they were thrown away "probably for the third time". £14 equates to around 12 fillets which is a lot. Could some have been frozen after purchase and then thawed? And thawed properly before cooking? TWE has a total of 4 posts of which 3 are on this thread.  
    • Thanks to all for the advice, very glad to have this community for these enquiries. Here is how it got resolved in case its useful for anyone in the future: I had ordered some garden waste bags, and when the Veolia person came around I just asked them, and they were more than happy to take it no questions asked. 🙂 
    • I keep seeing a thread 'missing cat', but you've been found.  Not sure if all would consider that a good thing.  Not a lot new happening ....  When you back in Blighty?
    • In March Oli and his team did an excellent job of the following work at a property I manage.  1. Completely removing existing broken front path. Covering and securing the void (coal shute) beneath using concrete lintels, waterproof membrane and concrete. Laying a compacted sub-base and new clay pavers. 2. Removing broken fence. Securely installing 6 fence posts and 5 fence panels across the end of the back garden. Base of posts wrapped in plastic  sheath and set in post mix. 3. Removing broken render from terrace steps and cleaning then re-rendering steps where needed and repairing other parts.  4. Jet washing rear patio. I would like to thoroughly recommend him to you for a job done very well at a fair price.
