Below is a testimonial and pictures of some structural repairs carried out on a commercial building in Derby. If you need some structural repairs on your commercial property contact Building Solutions (Midlands) Ltd today on 01332 233606, alternatively fill our our online form.

Picture below shows rotten timber floor joists being supported with temporary props.

We provided temporary supports to the floor within 4 hours of agreement for us to carry out the repair works.

Once the plastic sheeting and boards are removed the full extent of the rot in the floor joists becomes apparent.

Once the floor boards are removed the damage to the joists becomes obvious.

Further investigation exposes serious timber rot to a main supporting timber beam. Our Structural engineer is called in and gives a report. The photo below shows our team providing emergency props to support the rotten timber beam.

The start of our solution, the existing block pier is knocked down, new footing are excavated, and a new concrete solid block pier is provided to support through the basement, and up through the first floor to carry the main king truss in turn supporting the roof. The rotten main timber beam can still be seen to the top left of the picture.

The photo below shows the solid concrete block column rising from the basement through the first floor to support the timber beam above.

New ground floor joists are installed to replace the rotten ones.

New flooring goes down and the company is near ready to move back in.

Photo below shows the new double plaster boarded ceiling in, ready for our in house electrical team to install the emergency lighting, and other commercial electrical installation.
