Underpinning and Foundation Repairs Ashford
Underpinning reinforces and extends existing foundations that have become inadequate or have been compromised by subsidence or structural movement. The most widely used approach involves carefully excavating beneath the existing footing in a controlled sequence, then filling the void with mass concrete to transfer the load onto more stable ground. This method is also commonly employed to facilitate side return extensions along the party wall line.
Properties being extended through the addition of a new floor may require underpinning to strengthen and stabilise the existing foundations.
We work in close partnership with structural engineers and loss adjusters to deliver high quality, value engineered structural repair solutions on every project.
Signs of weakened foundations:
- External cracks appearing in brickwork, concrete or masonry wall
- Sinking or uneven interior floors
- Door or window frames that have begun to stick
- Skirting boards pulling free from the wall
