What is Underpinning?

Underpinning is a method used to strengthen and stabilise the foundations of an existing building. It is typically required when the original foundation is no longer adequate to support the structure safely. This may be due to:
  • Changes in ground conditions
  • Subsidence or settlement
  • Alterations to the building or increased loads
  • The need to increase foundation depth for extensions or basements

Underpinning works by extending or reinforcing the existing foundation so it transfers load to more stable ground below. In many cases, it is a more cost-effective and practical solution than removing and rebuilding foundations entirely.

Our underpinning contractors are available to explain the process clearly and guide you through the most appropriate solution for your property.

Underpinning for Subsidence

We provide a range of underpinning solutions tailored to site conditions and structural requirements. Our experienced team designs and installs underpinning systems that are safe, compliant and suitable for long-term performance.

All work is carried out by our own in-house team, with no subcontracting, ensuring consistent quality and accountability throughout the project.

Our services include:

Traditional mass concrete underpinning
Mini-piled underpinning
Ground beam and reinforced concrete solutions
Underpinning for extensions and basements
