Underpinning and Foundation Repairs Beckenham
Underpinning is used to strengthen and deepen existing foundations that have become inadequate or have been affected by subsidence or ground 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 structural load down to more stable ground. This method is also commonly used to facilitate side return extensions along the party wall line.
Properties being extended through the addition of an extra floor may need underpinning to reinforce the existing foundations and ensure they can safely carry the increased load.
We work alongside experienced structural engineers and loss adjusters to deliver high quality, value engineered structural repair solutions that you can rely on.
Signs that your foundations may be weakened:
- Cracks appearing in external brickwork, concrete or masonry wall
- Floors that are sinking or sloping inside the property
- Doors or window frames that have begun to stick
- Skirting boards pulling free from the wall
If you are experiencing any of these concerns, Beckenham Builders is here to help. We are available seven days a week to provide free assessments and estimates throughout Beckenham. Get in touch with our underpinning and foundation repair team today by calling 020 8226 6230.
