Underpinning and Foundation Repairs Guildon Sutton
Underpinning reinforces and extends existing foundations when they prove insufficient or have been compromised by subsidence or ground movement. The standard approach involves sequential excavation beneath the current footing, followed by infilling with mass concrete to redistribute structural loads onto more stable ground. This technique is also employed to facilitate side return extensions constructed along party wall boundaries.
Properties being extended through the addition of an upper storey may need underpinning to strengthen the existing foundation structure.
We collaborate closely with structural engineers and loss adjusters to deliver superior quality, cost effective structural repair solutions.
Signs of weakened foundations:
- External cracks appearing in brickwork, concrete or masonry wall surfaces
- Sinking or sloping interior floors
- Door or window frames that stick or bind
- Skirting boards separating from the wall
