Crack Severity Checker

Answer five questions about the crack you're looking at. You'll get an indicative severity reading — low, moderate or priority — and the sensible next step for each.

Is your crack serious? Four factors decide it: width (over ~5mm matters), direction (diagonal/stepped beats vertical hairline), behaviour (growing or reopening beats static), and company (sticking doors, sloping floors, external mirroring). This checker weighs your answers the way an initial triage would — it guides a decision to monitor or assess; it cannot diagnose.

Five-question triage

Important: this tool provides general, indicative guidance only. It is not a survey, a diagnosis or a quotation, and it cannot assess your specific property. Figures are broad London planning ranges; the appointed professional confirms actual fees and any repair costs are confirmed by contractors pricing an engineered specification. If you are concerned about your property, request a structural assessment or call.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can this tool tell me if I have subsidence?

No — no online tool can. It applies the same screening logic professionals use for triage, so its output is a sensible next step, not a diagnosis. Diagnosis needs inspection.

What should I do with a 'priority' result?

Call or send an enquiry promptly — priority means the pattern warrants professional assessment soon, not that the building is in danger. Photograph the crack (with a ruler) meanwhile.

The result says monitor — how?

Pencil-date the crack ends, photograph against a ruler, recheck monthly and after seasons change. Any growth or reopening promotes it to assessment, with your dated record making that faster.
