Buildings have a ‘design life’ – a period in which no major structural damage occurs. In some cases, buildings are affected by natural effects (flood, wind, etc), accidental forces (impact, blast) or neglect. When damage occurs repair and remedial work is required.
Common structural issues include cracking in masonry walls and concrete elements (slabs, walls, beams) due to ground movement, corrosion and water ingress. Often, old buildings experience rot (fungal attack, insect infestation, etc) which will require specialist treatments.
After site visits to carefully assess the defects, material condition, and underlying causes, we specify reliable repair solutions that address structural damage and extend the service life of the building.
