Yes. We can inspect the issue and carry out the foundation work needed on an existing property. This can include repairs, underpinning and other structural work where the condition of the building requires it.

Limewood completely rebuilt my extension after a cowboy builder made a complete mess of it. Ian and his team corrected every issue, finished the work to a very high standard, and the result is beautiful. We are absolutely delighted and can’t thank them enough. Highly recommended!

I couldn't be happier with the work completed. They installed a full new kitchen, repaired the floor joists, and built a fantastic new shower room, all to a very high standard. They also gave great advice on colour choices and suggested practical ways to keep costs down without compromising on quality. They were professional, reliable, and kept me informed throughout the project. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for honest, skilled tradespeople. I'm really pleased with the end result.
