London’s leading Structural Repair Company goes from strength to strength

Here at Newman’s we pride ourselves on providing cost effective, modern day methods of building and structural repairs.

Here are a few projects we have recently completed:

Structural Repairs, London

Newman’s are a leading Structural Repair specialist serving London from our West London office in Hammersmith. Our Structural Repair services are often required by many Councils and Housing Associations in order to maintain their properties and reinforce masonry where cracking has occurred.

Concrete and Masonry Repairs Oxford

Newman’s have once again been called upon by Oxford City Council to carry out Structural Surveys to a number of properties and structures.

This block of four garages is suffering from a large number of substantial cracks within the masonry due to movement of the concrete floor slab, the garages have been monitored for a period of 18 months and there has been no further on-going movement.

Newman’s have been asked to put together a structural repair scheme using the Twistfix Helical System, our design will include Twistfix masonry beams and crack stitches as well as repairs to the concrete floor slab.

This large block of garages is also suffering from cracked brickwork and has also slipped off its DPC (damp proof course) due to no movement joints being present, Newman’s will again design a scheme to include Twistfix crack stitches and Twistfix retro fit movement joints, where the brickwork has slipped of the DPC localised areas will be rebuilt.

Finally this block of flats requires repairs to its balconies, our design will include the Weber concrete repair system and the Vulkem balcony repair system, all of the above projects will be available on the case study section of the website soon.
