Foundations provide support to the superstructures above them. They are one of the most integral parts of any property, whether residential or commercial. The process of selecting a suitable foundation-building technique for any property is a tedious one and demands considerable diligence. When built right, they can last more than a lifetime. However, for one reason or the other, foundations may get damaged, weakened, or may shift from their footing. Rebuilding foundations in most cases is next to impossible; therefore, reinforcing methods such as underpinning is used to strengthen these foundations again. Underpinning involves increasing the breadth or depth of foundations. The purpose is to transfer the load to newly built foundations or other soil strata. Our underpinning company in London can provide underpinning services for your property. We have a highly qualified construction team comprising civil engineers, architects, geotechnical engineers, builders, etc.
If your property foundations have been damaged due to natural hazards such as earthquakes or flooding, underpinning techniques such as micro piling (mini piling) or beam-and-base Underpinning Contractors London can be used to strengthen the foundations. This can be carried out for both residential and commercial properties.

Our construction team follows a highly meticulous process. For instance, our geotechnical engineers will conduct detailed soil analysis when underpinning a house in London. Our civil engineers will inspect your existing foundations. Our team will devise the best underpinning method for your property after conducting the required analysis.
Any soil is a composition of several materials and also includes moisture. The moisture content influences how the soil will respond to sudden weather and climatic shifts in the long run. Extreme temperatures will shrink or expand the soil, which can be dangerous for foundations. Moreover, foundations can also lose their strength because of the movement of soil layers. The foundations will be compromised if the new layers do not have adequate LBV (Load bearing value). This is why our team of underpinning specialists in London comprises geotechnical engineers. They are qualified to conduct a detailed analysis of the soil layers and advise the best solution.
Underpinning techniques are useful for reinforcing existing foundations and are widely used for building foundations, especially in places with restricted access. There are countless construction sites which fall into this category, Low headroom (basements, tunnels, other underground work), inside buildings, high moisture (bridges, jetties), sensitive sites (archaeological sites, historical monuments, hospitals, etc.), and many more. For all these sites with restricted access, there are numerous underpinning techniques. Our underpinning services in London cover most of these techniques, and we have our own state-of-the-art rigs.
Underpinning Construction in London can also be used for building foundations for new builds. Many underpinning techniques have replaced conventional methods of foundation building because of the ease underpinning offers. The foundation building process is much simpler as rigs are mostly used for performing most of the work. Unlike heavy machinery, these rigs can be transported relatively easily, especially to sites with restricted access. The process is less labour intensive, and therefore you save labour costs as well. The cost-effectiveness of underpinning makes it a preferred choice for most construction companies. Our underpinning contractors in London offer you highly competitive rates without compromising quality. Contact us to benefit from the lowest underpinning cost in London.
The underpinning process is less disruptive. Underpinning can be easily carried out in business sites without halting operations. Many methods are next to noiseless, making them ideal for construction sites like hospitals and hotels. Whether carrying out a house extension, a basement conversion, or reinforcing your existing foundations, you can continue doing your work and daily chores. At the same time, our construction team will provide you with underpinning in London. Underpinning is, therefore, highly suitable for hospitals, hotels, restaurants, universities, residential properties, and many more.
