Urgency

Urgency check

A few quick questions to gauge how pressing the movement looks. This is guidance on timing, not a diagnosis: only an investigation confirms what is happening and how quickly to act.

How urgent is it?

Is the cracking new, or has it widened noticeably in recent weeks?
How wide are the widest cracks?
Are doors or windows suddenly jamming, or is a floor or wall visibly leaning?
Is a sale, remortgage or insurance claim depending on this?

Indicative guidance only; an investigation confirms what is happening. Request an assessment for a definitive answer.

What each level means

Worth booking soonEnough is going on to be worth a proper look before long. Early investigation keeps any repair smaller and cheaper.
Get it assessed promptlyActive movement or a pending transaction makes this time-sensitive. Arrange an assessment soon so you know where you stand.
