Structural conditions for underpinning services

Being an underpinning company in Essex, we have extensive experience in stabilising the substructure through underpinning services.  Many factors influence to avail the top-notch underpinning services, which include

  • The deterioration of conventional timber piles in construction results in settlement. The structure is continuously deteriorating as a result of water table variations.
  • The rising and falling of water levels would result in lowering the bearing capacity of the soil, causing the structure to sink.
  • Structure is unable to support the load of another storey of the building.

Our underpinning contractors Essex are proficient in dealing with all these solutions by providing quality underpinning services.

Types of underpinning solutions for your property

Our underpinning specialists in Essex transform the current structure into a different role, which necessitates a stronger and sturdier foundation than the existing structure.

Protection work

  • Current structure is weak and unstable.
  • Excavation in the nearby area has an impact on the soil that supports the existing footing.
  • Stabilization of the current soil structure to withstand natural disasters.
  • Remedial works
  • Subsidence of the structure is mainly caused by errors in the initial footing.
  • Work on the current structure before constructing a new one.

Methods of underpinning used at 4SP Group

We imply different underpinning methods to get the best possible result of underpinning solutions.

Mass concrete underpinning

 In this type of underpinning, our underpinning contractors Essex extend the old foundation till it reaches a stable stratum. Excavation of the soil is carried out until a significant stratum is reached. Our skilled team fills the gaps with concrete during the excavation process. This is a low-cost approach that is appropriate for shallow foundations.

Pier and beam underpinning method

 As the mass concrete approach does not work well with the large foundation depths, the beam approach is feasible for all types of ground.  Our underpinning contractors in Essex use reinforced concrete beams to distribute the weight evenly to the mass concrete bases. The ground conditions and applied load on your building structure determine the size and depth of the beams.

Mini piled underpinning

We use this method particularly when the loads from the foundation are shifted to strata located more than 5m away.  Our skilled underpinning contractors Essex used this method in areas with limited access. We have piles with a diameter ranging from 150 to 300 mm, which can be driven or augured on the land.

Cost of underpinning services

Foundations are of crucial importance, hence providing underpinning services consider various elements while telling the final cost to our clients.  Each category of protection and remedial work is charged separately according to the conditions of the site. Our underpinning cost in Essex is far less than our competitors. Our cost of underpinning majorly depends upon the underpinning method, size of the property and its current state.
