Thomas Consulting inspected an end-terrace property in Morecambe to advise on the causes of crack damage in the Party Wall in the roof void. The damage included stepped diagonal cracking, tapering in width.

We advised the Client that the damage is associated with historical moisture related shrink/ swell movement in the early life of the property.

Concrete Blockwork shrinks in early life due to a loss of absorbed moisture in the aggregate. Conversely, Clay Bricks are fired in a kiln during manufacture and leave the factory oven dry. The brickwork swells in early life due to water absorption.

Due to an unusually short return arrangement in the front elevation of the property and a stepped roof detail across the party wall line, whilst the main body of the party wall is constructed in blockwork, the ends are formed by Clay Brickwork.

The differential swell/ shrinkage movement has resulted in differential vertical movement within the party wall, causing the reported crack damage.

This morning, our Civils Director Julian Pearson attended the Cumbria Development Day at Castle Green Hotel, Kendal, alongside council leaders, politicians, contractors, consultants and developers, all focused on driving growth across Cumbria.

Highlights included hearing from Kurt Canfield on the successful transformation of the former Jennings Brewery site in Cockermouth, Lauren Allison of Genesis Homes on new housing opportunities in Carlisle, and Laura Percy of Muse on the exciting Marina Village project in Barrow-in-Furness.

Thomas Consulting have operated in Barrow for over a decade, working with BAE Systems, developers, and contractors. We are excited to be a part of Barrow’s future and hope the scheme continues to help companies in the region and provide opportunities and amazing spaces for its residents. We have also played a large part in Carlisle’s housing growth, providing Flood Risk, Drainage and Highways Schematics for developers.

It was encouraging to hear so much passion and ambition for the region's future. Thomas Consulting is proud to support development across Cumbria, and it was great to catch up with familiar faces and make new connections throughout the day.

Men's Health Week is an important reminder that well-being matters - not just in the workplace, but in every part of our lives. Your physical and mental health deserve time, attention, and care every single day.

Whether it's checking in with yourself, reaching out to a friend or colleague, getting active, or simply taking a moment to rest, even the smallest steps can lead to meaningful change over time.

Let's continue to create environments where conversations around men's health are encouraged, supported, and normalised. Because when we prioritise well-being, everyone benefits.

Last week, Harvey, Matt and Sally from our Shrewsbury office attended the Constructing Excellence Shropshire Club Summer Social aboard the Sabrina Boat in Shrewsbury.

Following welcome drinks at The Armoury, guests enjoyed a BBQ cruise along the River Servern, providing a great opportunity to network with professionals from across the construction and property sectors.

A big thank you to the Constructing Excellence Shropshire Club team for organising such an enjoyable event. We thoroughly enjoyed the evening and look forward to attending future events.

Last Friday, Seb Warren from our Chorley office took part in the Bradley Group Charity Football Match, held at the iconic Bolton Wanderers Toughsheet Community Stadium.

It was a fantastic day enjoyed by everyone in attendance, bringing together colleagues and connections for some friendly competition in support of a truly worthwhile cause.

The event provided a great opportunity to strengthen relationships, enjoy the team spirit of the day, and, most importantly, raise support and awareness for Holly's Hearts and Derian House Charities.

If you would like to donate to either charity, you can do so by following these links: https://www.justgiving.com/charity/hollyhearts & https://www.derianhouse.co.uk/donations/donate/

Overall, the event was a great success and a brilliant example of the community coming together for a meaningful cause. A big thank you to Bradley Demo for hosting an enjoyable day and for inviting us to take part.

Last week, Scott Milligan and Billy Hodgson had the pleasure of joining an ICE North West site visit to Kendal, where VolkerStevin and the Environment Agency showcased the Kendal Town Flood Risk Management Scheme - one of the North of England's largest flood Defence projects.

Following the devastating floods caused by Storm Desmond in 2015, the scheme is transforming how over 2,000 properties are protected, while carefully balancing modern flood Defences with Kendal's historic character.

A great opportunity to see this flood risk management system in practice - from hydraulic modelling to delivering complex works in constrained urban environments.

Thanks to VolkerStevin, the Environment Agency and the ICE North West for organising the visit.
