With more than 30 years of experience in structural groundworks and foundation repairs, our team delivers practical solutions tailored to the condition of your building and the recommendations of your structural engineer.
Whether you require house underpinning for a family home, basement underpinning as part of a construction project, or structural underpinning to strengthen an existing foundation, we have the knowledge and experience to carry out the work safely and efficiently.
Underpinning is a construction method used to strengthen, stabilise or deepen an existing foundation. It is commonly required when a building experiences movement, subsidence, changes in ground conditions, or when additional loads are being introduced through extensions or basement construction.
By strengthening the foundation beneath a property, underpinning can help restore structural stability and prevent further movement.
Not every crack indicates a serious structural issue, but some warning signs should be investigated by a qualified professional.
Common indicators include:
Cracks In Walls: Particularly diagonal cracks around doors and windows.
Uneven Floors: Sloping or dipping floor levels.
Doors Or Windows Sticking: Frames becoming distorted through movement.
Visible Structural Movement: Signs that part of the property has shifted.
Subsidence Concerns: Movement caused by ground conditions beneath the building.
If you have concerns about the condition of your property, seeking professional advice early can help prevent more extensive foundation repairs later.
As experienced underpinning contractors, we provide a range of underpinning solutions depending on the property type, ground conditions and structural requirements.
House underpinning is commonly used to stabilise residential properties affected by movement or subsidence. We work with homeowners, builders and structural engineers to deliver solutions that restore confidence in the building’s foundations.
Foundation underpinning strengthens existing foundations where additional support is required. This may be necessary due to structural movement, changes in ground conditions or planned building works.
Structural underpinning is often used when a property requires additional support to maintain long-term stability. Every project is carried out in accordance with engineering specifications and site requirements.
Mass concrete underpinning remains one of the most widely used underpinning methods. It involves excavating sections beneath an existing foundation and filling them with concrete to create additional support.
For basement construction projects, basement underpinning can be used to deepen existing foundations and create the structural support required for excavation works below the property.
Subsidence can occur for a variety of reasons, including ground movement, drainage issues, tree root activity and changing soil conditions.
As underpinning specialists, we regularly work on projects involving subsidence repairs and foundation repairs, helping property owners address structural concerns before they become more significant problems.
Every building is different, which is why we assess each project individually and work closely with structural engineers where required.
