Start with the overview: All our services
Does a crack at the porch mean the porch needs underpinning?
Not on its own. A crack can start from drainage, from the footing, or from the way the porch joins the house. A local specialist should inspect the porch and the house before choosing a repair.
What should I set down before I make an enquiry?
Say when you first saw the movement and whether it has got worse since. Doors and windows that catch are worth mentioning. Photographs taken at different times help a local specialist see the pattern.
Do you cover the whole of London?
Yes. Specialists cover London 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 London 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.
