Balcony Relevelling #2

Posted 1 week ago

Maintenance & repair job re-levelling a small non-structural balcony where one of the struts holding it up has gradually subsided. This has produced a small slope on the balcony with the railing having moved just over an inch from the house. The supporting strut needs to be re-levelled to level the balcony. Would be fantastic if the job could be done before Christmas -but any time over the Summer would also work.
