Underpinning and Foundation Repairs Mickle Trafford
Underpinning reinforces and extends existing foundations when they prove insufficient or have been compromised by subsidence or ground movement. The standard approach involves sequential excavation beneath the current footing, which is then filled with mass concrete to redistribute loads onto more stable ground. This technique also facilitates side return extensions constructed along party wall boundaries.
Properties being extended through the addition of upper storeys may need underpinning to strengthen the current foundations.
We collaborate with structural engineers and loss adjusters to deliver high quality, cost effective structural repair solutions.
Signs of weakened foundations:
- External cracks in brickwork, concrete or masonry wall
- Sinking or sloping interior floors
- Door or window frames that are sticking
- Skirting boards coming free of the wall
Should you observe any of these issues, Mickle Trafford Builders can assist. We are available seven days a week for free assessments and estimates in Mickle Trafford. Call our underpinning and foundation repair team on 0800 161 5815.
