How can I tell if a crack at my porch is still moving?
Make a simple record of the crack and check it over time. Note any door that begins to stick and mark the crack ends so a local specialist can compare them later. Crack monitoring can show whether the crack is active.
Does every porch with cracks need underpinning?
Not every porch with cracks needs underpinning. A local specialist should examine the cause and the condition of the porch before any repair is chosen. Crack stitching may suit some masonry cracks, and larger movement can call for underpinning.
Do you cover the whole of Southend-on-Sea?
Yes. Specialists cover Southend-on-Sea 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 Southend-on-Sea 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.
