Start with the overview: All our services
What should I do if the porch door starts sticking?
A sticking door can be a sign that the porch has moved. Note when it started and look for cracks in the brickwork or along the edges. A local specialist can assess the porch and say what repair is needed.
Is crack stitching always needed for porch subsidence?
No. A local specialist will look at the cracks and the porch structure before advising. Crack stitching is used where masonry cracks need tying together.
Do you cover the whole of Bolton?
Yes. Specialists cover Bolton in full, including the surrounding area, and extend to other locations across the United Kingdom. Regardless of where your property is, a specialist can attend.
How quickly can you help?
Fill in the form with your address and a description of what you have found. A specialist will contact you directly with initial advice about your Bolton property.
Will I need underpinning?
Frequently not. Drainage work, tree management or a monitoring programme is sufficient to deal with a considerable number of cases in this area. A specialist recommends underpinning only when the site investigation makes a clear case for it.
