Fast Structural Survey for Solar PV
Structural sign-off for solar, in 48 hours.
A structural report can take weeks. Ours is a 48-hour benchmark from confirmed scope, engineer-signed, Eurocode-verified, and independent of installers and the supply chain. Order online and be MCS-ready in days, not weeks.
Desktop report
Benchmark from confirmed scope. Engineer-signed Desktop Structural Roof Loading Report, no site visit required.
On-site survey
Mobilisation target from the UK hub network, with the signed report inside 48 hours of the visit.
At portfolio scale
The 48-hour benchmark holds per report across batch programmes, with an escalation schedule for flagged sites.
Speed is not a trade-off here. The wait elsewhere usually comes from outsourced engineering, layered admin and queues. We are a focused independent practice with a streamlined route from instruction to signed report, so fast and rigorous are the same service, not two tiers with a premium on the quick one.
Fast, without cutting the engineering
Every report is signed by a qualified structural engineer and verified to the Eurocodes: BS EN 1991-1-4 for wind, BS EN 1991-1-3 for snow, BS EN 1990 for load combinations, and BRE Digest 489 for PV uplift. The turnaround is quick because the practice is built for it, not because anything is skipped.
Engineer-signed
A named qualified structural engineer puts their signature on every report. Never a firm-level sign-off alone.
Independent
We do not sell, install or design the array. The verdict is unbiased, with nothing riding on the answer being yes.
Insured
Backed by £5M structural professional indemnity, in the lender-accepted format asset owners and DNOs expect.
Instruction to signed report, fast
Order or brief
Order online in minutes, or send the desktop survey form with roof details, photos and the array data.
Engineer assessment
A qualified structural engineer derives the site loads from the postcode and checks the roof against array, mounting and ballast.
Signed report, 48 hours
Eurocode-verified, signed and issued with invoice, within the benchmark from confirmed scope.
Fast structural survey questions
How fast can I get a structural survey for solar PV?
Our Desktop Structural Roof Loading Reports are issued within a 48-hour benchmark from confirmed scope, once we have the roof details and any required design data. On-site structural surveys are mobilised on a 24-hour target, with the report following within 48 hours of the visit.
Does a faster structural report mean lower quality?
No. Every report is signed by a qualified structural engineer and verified to the Eurocodes (BS EN 1991-1-4 wind, BS EN 1991-1-3 snow, BS EN 1990 load combinations) and BRE Digest 489 for PV uplift. The speed comes from a focused, independent practice and a streamlined process, not from cutting the engineering.
Is the 48 hours guaranteed?
The 48 hours is a benchmark we work to from confirmed scope, not a contractual guarantee. In practice it is what we deliver on standard instructions; complex or incomplete submissions can take longer, and we flag that up front.
Can you turn a whole portfolio around quickly?
Yes. The 48-hour benchmark holds per report at portfolio scale. Batch programmes are delivered to the same standard with an escalation schedule that flags any sites needing a closer look.
How do I order a fast structural report?
Order online in a few minutes and submit the roof and array details, or send the desktop survey form. A qualified structural engineer takes it from there and issues the signed report within the benchmark.
Do I need this for MCS compliance?
MIS 3002 V6.0, mandatory from 18 June 2026, requires a suitably competent person to confirm the roof can carry the array, the mounting system and the wind and snow loads. On a commercial roof, that should be a qualified structural engineer, and a signed Desktop Structural Roof Loading Report provides exactly that, quickly.
