Underpinning is a technique used to strengthen the foundation of an existing building or structure, and it may be necessary for several reasons:

• The original foundations lack sufficient strength.
• The building’s use has changed, necessitating stronger foundations.
• The soil properties beneath the foundations may have altered, possibly due to subsidence.
• The load capacity or depth of the foundations may need to be increased to support an extension or an additional storey on the building.
• Natural events like floods or droughts may have caused the structure to shift, requiring re-stabilisation.

Our team of professional experts will conduct a comprehensive survey to determine the exact requirements. They possess a diverse range of skills, including project management, construction, structural engineering, electrical work, and gas engineering.
