Underpinning and Foundation Repairs Cuddington
Underpinning reinforces and extends existing foundations when they have become inadequate or have been compromised by subsidence or ground movement. The most widely used technique involves systematically excavating beneath the current footing in controlled sections and infilling with mass concrete to redistribute the structural load onto more stable ground. This method is also employed to facilitate side return extensions constructed along party wall boundaries.
Properties being extended through the addition of upper storeys may need underpinning to strengthen the existing foundation structure.
We collaborate closely with structural engineers and loss adjusters to deliver high quality, cost effective structural repair solutions.
Indicators of compromised foundations:
- External fractures in brickwork, concrete or masonry wall surfaces
- Subsiding or uneven interior floors
- Door or window frames that jam or bind
- Skirting boards separating from the wall
