Buildings up and down the country however are bearing the scars.
Our advice to any property owners, who believe that their property may have suffered damage as a result of the quake, is to seek expert advice as soon as possible.
Whether there are obvious areas of damaged brickwork, or cracks that have manifested in the walls, property owners should be vigilant and have these investigated promptly, to ensure the building's occupants are not put at risk.
What may initially appear to just be cosmetic damage could in fact have a serious impact on the stability of the property, leaving parts of it at risk of collapse.
ProTen Services have surveyors based across England and Wales, who are on hand to diagnose instability in structural walls, and prescribe the best course of remedial action.
Our technicians are highly trained in installing a unique range of stress-free masonry reinforcing remedies, which provide a cost effective and concealed solution to masonry stabilisation.
Crack stitching, lateral restraints and lintel repairs are just some of the services that we can offer.
If you believe that your property has been affected, call us now on freephone 0808 100 1928, or visit our website for further information and contact details.
