Are trying to sell my house and a prospective buyer had a full blown house survey undertaken!, this threw back many many problems...99% of which are fee justifying drivel...However, when i bought the house i converted a single doorway into a double doorway and built an exposed archway as structural support. the archway is spot on there are no, not even an hairline plastercrack above or at the corners of the archway, the load being carried by the arch is approx 2.9m of masonry with no inter loading (floorjoist etc)
but this as come back on the survey as havingpotentially no structural integrity as there is no building control certificate to back it up.
Now then! Even my intelligent cocker spaniel could tell you ther is absolutely nothing structurally wrong in the archway, however i have to respond in a convincing way, any ideas.
Dont really want to start going down the structural engineer route, anybody know of any literature that could prove that my archway is structurally sound
