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

48 hours

Benchmark from confirmed scope. Engineer-signed Desktop Structural Roof Loading Report, no site visit required.

On-site survey

24-hour

Mobilisation target from the UK hub network, with the signed report inside 48 hours of the visit.

At portfolio scale

Same pace

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.

MCS deadline: from 18 June 2026, MIS 3002 V6.0 makes structural sign-off part of MCS certification for solar PV. A suitably competent person must confirm the roof can carry the array; on a commercial roof, that should be a qualified structural engineer. If a job is waiting on that sign-off, a Desktop Structural Roof Loading Report clears it inside the 48-hour benchmark. See the MCS compliance guide.

Instruction to signed report, fast

Step 01

Order or brief

Order online in minutes, or send the desktop survey form with roof details, photos and the array data.

Step 02

Engineer assessment

A qualified structural engineer derives the site loads from the postcode and checks the roof against array, mounting and ballast.

Step 03

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.
