we have just had our structural survey back and the surveyor has pointed out that - " on inspection of the attic it was noted that NO roof purlin or supporting studs were fitted. This could be resulting in cracking to the walls below and could also be resulting in excessive spread of the roof"
Please can somone tell me as I have no expertise whatsoever here. Is this a major thing? Can purlins or supporting studs be fitted. If so what would it cost. Surely the builder should have done this. The house is about 8 years old.
There are cracks in the walls which are visible and this is we are told is likely to be from the attic area weight.
Any info would be much appreciated.
Thanks
