Underpinning to Lock Houses

Notice Description

This piece of work needs to be done in the Oxfordshire and Maidenhead areas. Full description of works needed are attached.

The causes are a combination of drainage problems causing water leaks, and the addition of extensions in the 1960s and 1970s with insufficient foundations resulting in differential movement.
