Underpinning and Foundation Repairs Bridge Trafford
Underpinning works to strengthen and extend existing foundations when they prove insufficient or have been compromised by subsidence or ground movement. The traditional approach involves digging out sections beneath the current footing in a controlled sequence, then backfilling with mass concrete to shift the structural load down to more stable ground layers. This technique also proves valuable when constructing side return extensions that run alongside the party wall line.
Properties being extended through the addition of an extra storey may need underpinning to reinforce the existing foundation structure.
We collaborate closely with structural engineers and loss adjusters to deliver high quality, cost effective structural repair solutions.
Signs of weakened foundations:
- External cracks appearing in brickwork, concrete or masonry wall surfaces
- Interior floors that are sinking or showing a slope
- Door or window frames becoming stiff or jamming
- Skirting boards pulling away from the wall
