Multiple Crack Repair Methods Used to Repair Period Cottage

Anderton Structural Repair Services20 Feb, 2025Business

This beautiful cottage in Berkshire is believed to have been built around 1730 and has a number of old and more recent additions. The property was suffering from external and internal cracking throughout. Much of the cracking had been caused by differential movement. This occurs when different sections of the building, in this case, later additions, are built on separate foundations. There can be a difference between the rate and the amount that the foundations settle, which causes separation and cracking between the walls.
