Can anyone recommend a local structural engineer?

I've seen similar threads on the forum but I've not been able to find a recommendation.


We just want someone to have a look at some internal cracks to see if we need to do anything to remedy them other than redecorate.


Any suggestions would be great, thanks.

Do not use Adrian Ayora from Cupola Design! The man is incompetent and dishonest. He charged me ?175+VAT to assess the structure of a two-meter width wall, and he misdiagnosed one part of the wall - decided it was brick, rather than a single piece of plywood! He could have simply knocked on the wall to check whether it was hollow or solid, but instead glanced at it and decided what it was, because he was too busy trying to convince me to hire him to do further work beyond the scope for which I had hired him. I paid the ?175+VAT assessment in advance of his visit and, despite not fulfilling his obligations under the contract, he would not refund the money. He also seems to have a history of over-engineering the solutions in his drawing (see Google reviews of his firm), because his contract terms mean you have to pay him more to produce a simpler, straightforward and affordable design. Another way for him to milk you for more money. I am currently in the process of filing a formal complaint against him with the Institution of Structural Engineers. Avoid Adrian Ayora and Cupola Design. Also be aware that MariaVa, who keeps recommending him on this forum, is Maria Vanegas - his administrator who happens to live at the same address (eyes roll upward)

    • Greenby are back n my good books again! I raised a ticket yesterday and carried on trying various things myself to solve the issue. What solved the issue was me dragging an email from my trash into the folders that were not displaying any messages. As soon as I did that, all messages reappeared. I followed up on my ticket by advising Support of this and got this enthusiastic response:-   That's brilliant news - great problem-solving! It sounds like you encountered a webmail display glitch where the folder indexes weren't refreshing properly. By dragging an email into each folder, you essentially forced the webmail to re-index and refresh those folders, which brought all your emails back into view. This is quite a clever workaround, and I'm glad you persevered to find it! The good news is that your emails were always there safely stored on the server - they just weren't displaying correctly in the webmail interface. If you experience this again in the future, you now know the trick. Alternatively, sometimes simply logging out of webmail completely and logging back in can also refresh the folder listings. Is there anything else I can help you with today?  I still rate them 10/10 as they are quick to respond to tickets and are good at explaining things such as above.  
    • Hello,  I wanted to get my little one a new scooter, she doesn't scoot a lot but is confident on her 3 wheel. Any recommendations, please? I see lots about the micro scooter. I'm still deciding if she needs a 2 or 3 wheel.  Thanks 😊  Cam
    • Mine still seem well populated. I assume the display filter is still acting as you'd expect with the other folders.  I trust and hope it'll be a recoverable glitch, even if they did manage to delete or mislay the online copies.     I had prepared a para. beginning "That's essentially reassuring, Vladii.  Thanks." before managing to somehow remove the rest of it irrecoverably from the EDF message edit pane. Back on the Greenby side, I've narrowed down my own problem.  Most of my email posts are 'From:' my own domain but posted via the PN relay.   Maybe a couple of years ago an alarming failure of these to reach gmail addreses, without any non-delivery message, emerged.  It seemed to be due to the absence of an SPF entry on its DNS record.  Once that had been added all was ok again.   The SPF entry is still there, but the symptoms have reapppeared.  I've narrowed it down to email From that domain posted via both Greenby and Plusnet webmail.  The same messages sent from the same domain via a mail client, via SMTP to the PN relay, seem all to get through ok. So does one sent by webmail using my official PN mailbox domain [me]@[myPNUsername].plus.com. I submitted a carefully written problem-ticket request last night, and find it got an immediate very detailed response from their bot, saying "Thank you for the detailed explanation - this is really helpful information...This is an interesting deliverability issue..."  It then went on to enumerate and explain several possible factors which could have been involved, and asked me to submit a fresh ticket with details of a missing email's sender, time, and intended recipient, so that they could check their logs and diagnose further.   I was actually impressed, for the first time, by the response's quality.  I guess bots must benefit from high quality input from users. 😉
