Gregory type PRC houses in Northampton do not normally require new footings. It is very rare that Gregory PRC Houses built in Northampton need underpinning.
We suggest a test hole is dug before commencement of the project to rebuild your Gregory PRC house in Northampton and is inspected by the Structural Engineers and Building Inspector from the Local Authority in Northampton.
External cladding panels and precast reinforced concrete posts or columns in outer walls are removed from the Gregory PRC house whilst the internal skin of plain concrete blockwork or alternative dry lining is retained. New external walls comprising loadbearing lightweight blockwork, tied to retained lining, insulated cavity and facing brickwork, are constructed. Floor and roof loads are transferred from existing columns to new blockwork.
Whilst the work is being carried out rebuilding your Gregory PRC house in Northampton there is no need for you to find alternative accommodation, however building work can cause disruption to normal family life in Northampton so finding alternative accommodation in the Northampton area whilst work is being carried out to your Gregory type PRC house.
Work to rebuild your Gregory house in Northampton from start to finishshould be no longer than 5 weeks.
