Building and structural Make Safes
Building and structural Make Safes overview and introduction
When the structural integrity of a building is compromised — whether due to impact, fire, or environmental failure — an immediate response is essential. Our Building & Structural MakeSafe service is designed to stabilise and secure critical components such as framing, walls, ceilings, and load-bearing elements. These interventions reduce the risk of further damage or collapse and make the environment safe for assessment and restoration. We work closely with engineers, insurers, and builders to ensure compliance with safety regulations while maintaining site integrity. Our team is trained to recognise high-risk scenarios and implement temporary but effective measures that buy time until permanent repairs can be arranged. Every make-safe is carefully documented, ensuring a smooth handover for follow-up works.
Common issues
Collapsed or sagging ceiling due to water ingress Compromised load-bearing wall from impact or subsidence Fractured roof trusses or rafters Tilted or detached brickwork after vehicle strike Structural shifting from storm or flood Unsafe staircases or floor systems Temporary shoring or propping requirements
