Underpinning explained clearly for property owners considering how existing foundations can be strengthened or extended. The guide covers common warning signs and compares mass concrete, beam and base, and mini-piled methods.
Because the correct solution depends on the cause of movement and the existing structure, investigation and engineering input are essential. Our guide to ground investigation provides useful related context. Where work affects a shared wall or excavation near a neighbouring building, consult the official Party Wall Act explanatory booklet.
