Protecting the Integrity of Your Property
Discovering structural cracks or subsidence can be a stressful experience for any property owner. Based in Leigh, Real Piling Solutions brings over 20 years of experience to every stabilisation project, providing the engineered certainty needed to protect your investment.
Underpinning is the process of strengthening an existing foundation that has become unstable. Whether due to clay shrinkage, historical mine workings, or increased structural loads, we specialise in a range of underpinning techniques that stop movement in its tracks. We work closely with structural engineers and loss adjusters to ensure your building is returned to a safe and secure state, preventing further damage and restoring your property’s value.
Professional Stabilisation Techniques
We utilise modern, low-vibration equipment to reinforce existing footings with minimal disruption to the building above. Every project is designed to meet or exceed current UK Building Regulations.
Piled Underpinning
By driving or screwing mini-piles into the stable ground beneath a failing foundation, we can transfer the weight of the building to deeper, load-bearing strata. This is the most reliable method for properties affected by deep-seated soil issues or high water tables where traditional methods may fail.
Traditional Mass
Concrete Underpinning
For specific structural repairs, we provide traditional “pinning” where sections of the foundation are excavated and replaced with high-strength concrete. This is ideal for shallower stabilisation where the ground conditions are relatively stable but the original footings were insufficient.
Internal Floor Slab Stabilisation
If your internal floors are sinking or “panning,” we can install micro-piles and a new reinforced slab to level and support the interior of the property. This is a common requirement for older commercial units or domestic properties built on uncompacted fill material.
Structural Engineering Liaison
We handle the technical paperwork so you don’t have to. From providing piling logs for insurance claims to coordinating with local authority Building Control, we ensure every stage of the underpinning process is fully documented and approved for your peace of mind.
