We can offer a repair solution for every defect, from the foundations to the chimney pot, internally & externally.

Structural Defects

Cracks inevitably appear in brickwork and plaster when a structure has suffered the effects of Subsidence or Heave. This damage can have serious implications to the structural integrity of a building.

The movement of a structure can also cause other problems, some are not always visible. Below is a typical list of structural and superficial problems.

  • Inoperable Doors & Windows

  • Broken Plumbing Connections
  • Uneven Floors
  • Cracked Ceilings
  • Leaking Roof & Broken Flashings

R. E. LAY (Const.) Limited offers a variety of repair solutions to rectify and restore the structural integrity of most buildings.
