I recently had a sizeable timber shed installed at my property in Shillington, SG5 3HD. Although the supplier erected it, the whole building feels unstable and the walls—made from long shiplap panels—are visibly warping. I’m worried the structure could fail. I need a qualified shed builder, structural carpenter, surveyor or engineer to visit the site, inspect the shed and give me an impartial opinion on: • The overall soundness of the current design and assembly • The cause of the wall warping and instability • Recommended remedial actions and an outline of likely costs .Produce a report for a court action if required and follow up attendance I’m flexible on timing but would like the inspection within the next week if possible. 'Give me a quote on the various aspect of his involvement, before visiting the site. Please contact me, Nicos, on 07765 413 817 or message me here to arrange a visit. I look forward to your expertise on making this shed safe.
