Repiling assessment and quote

Posted 2 weeks ago

An 80 square metre 1958 state house, the house is on a reasonably steep site, seems to shift a bit between summer and winter and doors get stuck, the piles are still the original, concrete piles with timber bearers which are not strapped or braced. They also don't appear to go very deep into the earth. We are keen to understand how we can make the home more stable, potentially with deeper piles, and also leave the option open of a rear extension in the future.
