Underpinning and Foundation Repairs Picton
Underpinning is all about strengthening and extending your existing foundations when they’re not quite up to scratch or have been affected by subsidence or ground movement. The most widely used approach involves carefully excavating sections beneath your current footing, then filling these with mass concrete to transfer the load down to more stable ground. It’s also the go-to solution when you’re planning side return extensions that run along the party wall line.
Properties being extended with an additional storey often need underpinning to reinforce the existing foundations properly.
We collaborate closely with structural engineers and loss adjusters to make certain that every structural repair we carry out is high quality and represents genuine value for money.
Signs your foundations might be struggling:
- Cracks appearing in external brickwork, concrete or masonry wall surfaces
- Interior floors that are sinking or developing a slope
- Window or door frames that have started sticking
- Skirting boards pulling away from the wall
If you’ve spotted any of these warning signs, Picton Builders is here to help. We’re available seven days a week for free assessments and estimates throughout Picton. Give our underpinning and foundation repair team a ring on 0800 161 5815.
