Bad experience with structural engineer

[poppet27]

I'm sorry to say we've had a frustratingly bad experience with a local Structural Engineer. I don't want to post details as it's not really fair, but if you're in the market for hiring someone and want an opinion, feel free to DM. Not interested in reputation bashing, merely want others to know the experience we had.

In fact, if anyone can recommend someone else I'd be grateful

Looks like we have to start again.

We had a couple of debateable experiences with structural engineers, and ended up using John Heard of Orpington.

He's not cheap, but he acts as a forensic engineer giving evidence in disputes to give you an idea of his level. Very thorough, very direct, and got to the cause of a significant issue which a couple of previous engineers had failed to find.
