Global Preservation provides professional structural repair services for residential and commercial properties in Dundee, Perth, Angus and surrounding areas. We investigate structural problems and provide practical repair solutions designed to restore the strength, stability and condition of your property.
You may have noticed a water leak when it rains, or maybe rust stains are affecting your building façade; or perhaps bulging, fretting or cracking in your brickwork or render is causing you concern.
If you have noticed sticky windows and/or doors, cracks in floor tiling or walls, you may have problems with the foundations or slab in a modern one. The cause needs to be investigated and remedied because, if they are the problem, the situation will only get worse . . . and more expensive to fix.
Cracking or sagging walls and rust stains could be a sign that your building may have structural issues. Global Preservation offers professional Structural Repair services. Over time your building may develop structural issues – be it a sagging balcony slab, movement of the foundations or rusted steel reinforcement causing concrete cancer.
What you may consider to be a minor aesthetic issue could turn out to be a warning sign of some larger structural damage. It’s important to rectify any structural issue early to save significant time and money down the track.
