Underpinning and Foundation Repairs Newbridge
Underpinning strengthens and deepens existing foundations where they are inadequate or affected by subsidence or movement. The most common method involves excavating in sequence beneath the existing footing and filling with mass concrete to transfer the load onto firmer ground. Also used to enable side-return extensions along the party wall line.
Properties being extended by adding another floor may require underpinning to fortify the existing foundations.
We work closely with structural engineers and loss adjusters to ensure that a high-quality, value-engineered structural repair can be carried out.
Signs of weakened foundations:
- External cracks in brickwork, concrete or masonry wall
- Sinking or sloping interior floors
- Door or window frames that are sticking
- Skirting boards coming free of the wall
