About This Service
Record and Monitor Cracks With Confidence
Crack monitoring is the process of observing and recording changes in visible cracks within buildings or structures. It is an essential part of construction works that may affect existing buildings or neighbouring properties.
Our crack monitoring service is used during construction, basement excavation, structural alterations, demolition, piling, and party wall works — where there is a risk that existing cracks could widen or new cracks could develop.
By installing monitoring points and checking them at agreed intervals, we provide clear, reliable records that protect all parties involved and help manage risk throughout the project.

Clear Records for Engineers, Surveyors and Clients
Crack monitoring provides a clear, documented record of visible movement over time. Each monitoring point is installed with precision and checked at agreed intervals — weekly, fortnightly, or monthly — depending on project requirements.
All readings are recorded, dated, and presented in a clear format that can be shared with engineers, surveyors, party wall surveyors, and clients. This ensures full transparency and provides an accurate history of crack behaviour throughout the construction period.
