Underpinning.

[Brigade77]

I thinks he may have been hanging around here, 'cos No1 Son has took on a property that needs a particularly tricky underpinning job.

"Can you give us a hand dad"? My, how we laughed. "Can you give us a hand dad" roughly translates into "I've had a go but I'm out of my depth now" or even "I've mucked up bigtime & now I need to shift the blame".

To be fair on him, if the underpinning can be done right then he's onto a good earner.

Having reluctantly & casually wandered over to have a looksy, I reckon the only way it can be done is by that newfangled resin injection method. Access is a nightmare, someone will have to lie on their side & dig out at least 5tons of muck while 100+tons of potentially unstable masonry hovers above 'em.

I reckon if that resin injection method works then the expense might be worth it, has anyone ever called upon it?

Is it leasehold?

I worked on an 8 bed house that had subsided by 6" in the middle, including a spine wall.

The company were able to inject with just drilling a few holes inside and some along the outside.

It's so powerful it can raise the walls back up, but they don't do that as it creates lots of cracking, so the just stabilise.
