Underpinning and Foundation Repairs Kelsall
Underpinning reinforces and extends the depth of existing foundations when they prove insufficient or have been compromised by subsidence or ground movement. The most widely used technique involves sequential excavation beneath the current footing, which is then filled with mass concrete to redistribute the structural load onto more stable ground. This method is also employed to facilitate side return extensions along party wall boundaries.
Properties being extended through the addition of extra storeys may need underpinning to strengthen the existing foundation system.
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 stick
- Skirting boards separating from the wall
Should you observe any of these issues, Kelsall Builders is here to assist. We are available seven days a week for free assessments and quotations in Kelsall. Contact our underpinning and foundation repair specialists on 0800 161 5815.
