Underpinning and Foundation Repairs Clatterbridge
Underpinning works to strengthen and extend the depth of your existing foundations when they’ve become compromised through subsidence, ground movement or simply aren’t up to the job anymore. Picture a Victorian terrace where the original builders couldn’t have imagined today’s loading requirements. The traditional approach involves carefully excavating sections beneath your current footing in a controlled sequence, then pouring mass concrete to anchor your property onto more stable ground below. This same technique proves invaluable when you’re planning a side return extension that runs along your party wall line.
Properties being extended upwards with an additional storey often need underpinning to bolster the existing foundations beneath.
We collaborate directly with structural engineers and loss adjusters throughout the process, ensuring every structural repair delivers both exceptional quality and genuine value for money.
Warning signs your foundations may be weakening:
- Cracks appearing in external brickwork, concrete or masonry wall surfaces
- Interior floors that feel like they’re sinking or developing a noticeable slope
- Window frames or door frames that suddenly stick or won’t close properly
- Skirting boards pulling away from the wall
