As part of the ongoing program of works at London’s Whipps Cross Hospital we are carrying out concrete repairs to the balconies outside the A & E department.
Damage to concrete, often referred to as “concrete cancer” can be caused by water ingress and its freeze, thaw action, the presence of contaminants, the oxidisation of concrete reinforcement bars and other factors such as carbonation.
Newman’s were contacted by the owner of this victorian property in Lambeth, London SW2. She had been advised by her insurance company to find a lateral restraint specialist to carry out repairs to the front of the property where lateral movement, cracking and sagging had occurred.
As you may know Newman’s have been awarded a contract to carry out concrete repairs to residential flats and living accommodation in West Bay on the Dorset coast.
