Auxilium Structural Engineering

Auxilium Structural Engineering I specialize in calculation packages for a wide range of structural elements like steel beams, columns, foundations, retaining walls and timber elements .

I also produce structural surveys for homebuyers as well as site inspections. I am Marcin and I am a structural engineer with a Bachelor degree in Civil Engineering. I graduated in 2006. I have been working as a structural engineer in the UK since 2014. My first three years I spent designing mainly all the structural elements for care homes and student accommodation projects. I also have experienc

e in designing cladding supports. Before I came to the UK I was working as a structural and civil engineer in Poland since 2006. I belong to ICE (Institution of Civil Engineers) as a graduate member and I am in the process of getting my chartership. Since 2019 I have done a few hundred structural surveys /reports (full and specific) and calculation packages for different structural elements (beams, columns, lintels, foundations - different types, retaining walls etc.)

Stop "Falling in Love" with a House That's Falling Down. 🏠🛠️

Buying your first home is the biggest financial decision you’ll ever make—so why do most people decide in just 30 minutes based on the smell of coffee and fresh paint?

As a Senior Structural Engineer, I’ve seen too many "dream homes" turn into five-figure nightmares because a buyer missed a simple red flag during the viewing.

I’ve distilled my 12 years of the UK experience and 220+ inspections into a professional Property Auction & Viewing Toolkit to help you:
✅ Spot "Fatal" deal-breakers like subsidence or wall-tie failure before you offer.
✅ Use "Negotiables" like damp or aging roofs to secure a fair price.
✅ Calculate a 100% accurate "Walk-Away Number" using my automated costing spreadsheet.

The Ultimate Property Toolkit includes:
1️⃣ Pre-Bid Checklist: Your 8:00 AM gatekeeper.
2️⃣ Viewing Inspection Sheet: Your on-site structural roadmap.
3️⃣ Red-Flag Quick Reference: The 60-second triage card.
4️⃣ Automated Cost Estimator: Real UK repair rates at your fingertips.

Don't trust your gut. Trust the data. 📉

Have you observed white staining or powdery deposits on your masonry walls, or perhaps noticed chipped edges on bricks or concrete blocks? This is not a cause for concern. Efflorescence can be effectively treated, and damaged bricks or blocks can likely be attributed to poor quality materials and water ingress, which expands during winter months, causing damage. Fortunately, these issues can be remedied. Please see the comments for guidance on repair solutions.

Are you concerned about potential settlement issues in your home? It's essential to note that not all cracks indicate settlement problems, and not all out-of-plumb walls are a result of progressive movement. There may be alternative explanations for these issues, and consulting an experienced Structural Engineer is the best course of action. If you suspect settlement issues with your property, please share a photo, and I'll be happy to assess and provide a professional diagnosis.

If you have noticed cracks in your cavity wall, especially stepped or the wall is bulging, this might be sign of wall ties corrosion. Current wall ties are made of stainless steel but before mid 80s the wall ties were made of mild steel which can corrode quicker and at the same time it can expand 7x the original size. Be assured this is not the end of the world and it can be easily repaired. Some of the solutions you can find under the below link to Permagard products:

In this second post about Retaining wall failures, I want to highlight some less obvious but equally serious problems that can affect your retaining wall. One common issue is tree roots growing too close to the wall. As roots expand, they can push against the structure, causing cracks, displacement, or even tilting over time.

Another point often overlooked is the lack of proper movement joints. Retaining walls—especially long ones—need joints to handle expansion, contraction, and minor ground shifts. Without them, cracks can form and weaken the structure.

Mechanical damage is also something to watch for. Impacts from vehicles, garden machinery, or even construction equipment can compromise the wall’s integrity.

If you notice cracks, leaning, or any movement in the wall—or if there are large trees growing nearby—it’s worth getting a professional opinion before things get worse.

If you have a retaining wall on your property, I recommend keeping an eye on it. The sooner you notice a problem, the sooner it can be fixed. This time, I'll publish two separate posts to highlight the main problems you might encounter. In the first part, I'll start with the worst-case scenario: a complete collapse. I wouldn't wish this scenario on anyone, but if you see it, you might be more sensitive to certain signs that might appear on your retaining wall.

If you're thinking of creating an open space in your home and need to remove a wall between two rooms, make sure to check out this post. You'll learn how to identify whether the wall you want to demolish is loadbearing or not. I’ll also be sharing extra tips in the comments on how to prepare and what you need to know before starting the work.
