Read moreHave an old 1930's house that needs some repiling done. Some piles are in reasonable condition but approximately half of the house is on piles that are sitting on the ground (no concrete) or a bit wonky. Its a bit bouncy in places in the house where the piles aren't functional. There is good access under there (standing room at the lower end tapering to about 400mm at the upper). I'd like to do some of the labour work if possible to keep costs down. No major rush on timeframe.
Read moreWe need some relevelling done and piles replaced in a lounge, front hallway and two bedrooms, we also would like a chimney taken out which looks to be causing the leaning in one of the rooms. There is very limited crawl room in the underfloor with the remainder requiring channeling or cutting through the floor quite possibly. There is going to be work needed for new bearers as chimney goes right to the ground in the sub floor.

Read moreMy house has rough cast plaster over concrete block (in the basement). Over a few years crack has developed on the plaster, and this has widened over the past year. There does not appear to be any structural damage to the concrete blocks, however an engineer (Hanlon and partners) suggest that were may have been some movement in that corner of the house, though not obvious. They have recommended that some strengthening work is undertaken - that the north-east corner off the foundation wall is u...

Read moreHi, We are about to purchase a house in Dunedin, 2 Marlow Street, built-in 1928. Foundations are suspended timber and material is poured concrete according to the builder who did an inspection. They are in good shape but the firewall is leaning and the sag in-floor towards firewall is noted. Urethane injection has been suggested as a simple solution to this. We would like to know if you can fix it and how much would cost? Kind regards, Milorad Popovic
