In Portsmouth, the cost of hiring underpinning contractors is contingent upon several factors, including the property’s type and size, the extent and underlying cause of subsidence, the selected underpinning method, and accessibility to the foundation. For a tailored estimate, please get in touch with our team of specialists to discuss your specific requirements.
You should prioritise experience, qualifications, and a good reputation. Ensure they have a proven track record in similar underpinning projects, along with the necessary insurance coverage and a qualified temporary works engineer. Additionally, ensure that they understand the specifics of your project and have all the required resources to tackle potential challenges.
Underpinning is necessary when the existing foundation can no longer adequately support the structure. This may occur due to issues such as subsidence, soil movement, or the addition of extra stories to the building. Signs that indicate the need for underpinning include cracks in walls and floors, sticking doors and windows, and a leaning or sinking appearance of the building. If you observe these signs for your property, it’s advisable to consult with local experts to assess the situation.
Obtaining a mortgage for a house that has been underpinned is usually possible if the structural issues have been rectified and the underpinning work is of high quality. Lenders typically request a detailed survey to verify the property’s stability and may also require guarantees or warranties for the underpinning work.
