Skill: Structural Repair
Structural Repair
Structural repair is sometimes necessary to secure and restore buildings that are displaying signs of deterioration or when the property has suffered from environmental hazards such as subsidence or water damage from flooding.
Property Care Association (PCA) members who specialise in structural repair are trained and qualified to undertake building inspections and provide corrective measures to address structural defects in all types of buildings.
How do I know if structural repair is needed?
Whilst cracked masonry walls or ground movement may be straightforward to identify, in order to diagnose the root cause and arrive at the appropriate solution to make your property safe and secure again, it is recommended that you should seek the advice of a qualified structural repair expert. For more information on various types of structural repairs such as cavity wall ties, wall crack stitching and resin beam repairs visit our structural defects page.
