Underpinning is a specialised foundation repair process used to strengthen and stabilise solid brick or brick veneer homes showing signs of structural movement. The underpinning process involves a soil test to determine suitable founding depths and a structural engineer’s assessment to design and certify the required works, as engineer documentation is mandatory for all underpinning permits. Homes may require underpinning due to soil shrinkage or erosion caused by leaking pipes, poor drainage, tree root intrusion, drought, extreme weather conditions, or outdated foundation standards. Working closely with structural engineers, we assess the extent of movement and implement the most appropriate underpinning solution, whether stabilising the structure or restoring it to its original level. Once the engineer’s specifications are finalised – including depth, size, and number of underpinning pins – we provide a clear, obligation-free quote for the required works.
