Common strengthening projects
We are often asked to help with garages, bay windows, extensions, older terraces, outbuildings and homes where added load has increased stress on original foundations.
Support before stress becomes damage
Foundation Strengthening for Homes and Extensions
Older homes, new loft conversions, extensions and changed loads can expose shallow or weak foundations. We strengthen the ground supporting the footing so the building has a more reliable base.

Subsidence Repair
Visible cracking, sticking doors, uneven floors and fresh gaps around extensions can all point to foundation movement. We investigate the cause, stabilise weak ground and strengthen foundations with targeted resin injection.
Learn moreResin Injection
Resin injection is a modern ground improvement method that places expanding structural resin into weak or voided soil zones below a building. It is fast, targeted and often avoids large-scale excavation.

Foundation Strengthening FAQs
Straight answers before you book a survey.
Can you strengthen foundations before an extension?
Yes, where the existing foundation or supporting ground needs improvement, resin injection may be considered as part of the engineering design.
Will I receive documentation?
We provide clear records of the work carried out and can support documentation required by engineers, insurers or conveyancers.
Is a survey needed first?
Yes. A survey helps confirm access, foundation type, visible damage, drainage concerns and the most appropriate treatment plan.
