Understanding Tilbury

1950s-1970s residential housing stock near the Thames

Tilbury's housing is predominantly post-war terraced and semi-detached properties. Many homes are on clay soil near the Thames estuary, making foundation assessment important. Loft conversions and rear extensions are popular improvements.

Thurrock regeneration driving property investment

Ongoing regeneration in Thurrock, including the Tilbury area, is increasing property values and driving demand for home improvements. Structural surveys are frequently needed for mortgage lenders.

What Homeowners & Contractors Say

"We needed a structural survey for our 1960s semi in Tilbury before remortgaging. SBS were thorough, identified minor cracking that our surveyor missed, and provided a clear report that satisfied our lender. Very professional service."

The Challenge

Prospective buyer concerned about cracking in a 1970s terraced property near the Thames. Mortgage lender required structural engineer's report before releasing funds.

Our Solution

Undertook detailed investigation including crack mapping, crack width measurements, and foundation assessment. Reviewed local geology and drainage conditions. Identified thermal movement as the cause rather than subsidence.

The Result

Clear structural report satisfied the mortgage lender. Buyer proceeded with purchase. Recommended minor remedial pointing work at minimal cost, saving the buyer from unnecessary underpinning.
