When Do You Need Underpinning on a House?
Underpinning is typically required when the existing foundations are failing, often due to subsidence, or when you are adding a significant load to the structure, such as with a new basement or an extra storey. A structural engineer will be able to assess your property and confirm if underpinning is necessary.
Can extensions include drainage groundworks?
Yes, it is highly recommended that you include drainage groundworks with any new extension. This is a critical step to ensure that the new structure is protected from water damage and that rainwater and surface water are managed properly, preventing issues like damp and flooding.
How long does a driveway or patio project take?
The duration of a driveway or patio project depends on its size, complexity, and the type of materials used. A typical project can take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks, but we will provide a more accurate timeline after our initial site assessment.
Do you handle fencing alongside other groundworks?
Yes, we can handle fencing as part of a larger project, such as a new build or a garden redesign. By using one company for both the groundworks and the fencing, you can benefit from a more streamlined and efficient process.
Is it cheaper to use one company for multiple construction services?
Yes, it is often more cost-effective to use one company for multiple related services. It eliminates the need to manage multiple contractors, saves on call-out fees, and ensures a more cohesive and efficient project timeline. Our integrated service approach means you get a better result with less hassle.
