Specialist structural repair work to Council Properties & Homes


Since the "Right to Buy" scheme has been in existence many local council tenants have purchased their properties.  A Government grant was available before 1984 for pre fabricated concrete council house (PRC) repair. Unfortunately these grants are no longer available and many local Councils do not have the funding available for any structural repair work to PRC Council homes and houses.

 

Cosmetic repaired concrete houses are considered defective no matter how good they look and as such, banks and building societies are not willing to provide mortgages unless the property is repaired to specific standards. The PRC repair process is dependent on the design of each type of home. Typically the process involves removing the defective concrete (see concrete cancer) and rebuilding the structure with traditional block work and brick. The style of which you are completely free to choose. All work is carried out to the specifications and designs of leading structural engineers.

 


...Landmark PRC renovates and improves Concrete Council Houses


 

We employ the services of specialist Engineers to inspect your property before, during and after the PRC Concrete house repair process. This will ensure that the work done is to the highest standard and that the scheme is the most appropriate for your property. Once the works are complete the Engineers will issue a certificate confirming that the concrete property has been repaired. A PRC repaired property will be acceptable to most banks and building societies. Once a PRC repair is completed it can significantly increase the value of your Council home and allow you to also sell the house at a full market value.
