General Claims: Lytham St Annes
The Curley Group was summoned to provide support to the fire brigade during an emergency situation in Lytham St Annes. A vehicle had collided with a garage, resulting in significant structural damage to the building. In a collaborative effort with the fire brigade, The Curley Group played a crucial role in stabilising the compromised structure, allowing for the safe removal of the vehicle from the scene.
Over the ensuing weeks, The Curley Group successfully executed a comprehensive range of tasks to restore the damaged property. These included the temporary propping of the roof, removal of compromised brickwork, systematic stripping of the roof, salvage of usable materials, meticulous rebuilding of brickwork piers, installation of new load-bearing lintels, fitting of new garage doors, replacement of salvaged roof tiles, internal restoration, and the application of a fresh coat of paint to the garage floor.
Subsidence Claims: Cockermouth, Cumbria
The Curley Group undertook the challenging task of addressing a subsidence claim in Cockermouth, Cumbria. The property in question was situated precariously on a cliff face, and over time, the erosion and deterioration of the cliff face had rendered the house unstable.
Initially, the team demolished the kitchen extension to pave the way for subsequent interventions. Stabilising anchors were strategically inserted into the rock face, addressing the core instability of the property. The complexity of the project required further steps, necessitating the installation of foundations at the base of the cliff, a staggering 30 metres below the property's original location. Additionally, a formidable retaining wall, constructed in sections and towering 30 metres high, was erected to fortify the cliff face and provide structural support.
Following the completion of these foundational tasks, the project moved on to rebuilding the house extension, incorporating modern engineering techniques to ensure long-term stability. Harsh weather and the remote location of the property demanded meticulous planning of materials, deliveries and workforce throughout.
Major Loss Claims: Logistics Warehouse, Salford
The Curley Group swiftly responded to an urgent call from Direct Line, mobilising for an emergency situation involving a weather-damaged property. Upon reaching the site, our team took immediate action to secure the area, ensuring the safety of the public by dismantling the unstable brickwork. As the extent of the damage became apparent, the scope of the remedial work escalated, falling within the major loss framework.
We enlisted the services of a seasoned structural engineer, whose comprehensive assessment revealed a high-risk scenario, necessitating the demolition of both brick and block components, along with the removal and replacement of the five steel frame stanchions.
