Cracks, sagging lintels and bowing walls need understanding before repair. Some cracking is cosmetic; some indicates movement that needs investigation.
Projects that may need planning permission, building regulations approval or structural design are assessed first. We coordinate with appropriately qualified designers and approval bodies where required rather than claiming those qualifications ourselves.

Structural building repairs: common questions
