Subsidence Repair
Subsidence occurs when the ground beneath a building sinks, causing the foundations to become unstable. This can lead to cracking in walls, sticking doors and windows, and in severe cases, structural failure. Our team of specialists use the latest technology to diagnose the cause of subsidence and implement effective, long-lasting repairs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the early warning signs of subsidence in a property?
The most common indicators include diagonal cracks in walls — particularly around doors and windows — that are wider than 3mm and continue to grow over time. Other signs include doors and windows that stick or jam, rippling or creasing wallpaper (not caused by damp), and gaps appearing between walls and ceilings or skirting boards. Seasonal changes in crack width can also indicate clay-related subsidence.
Will my home insurance cover the cost of subsidence repair?
Most standard home insurance policies include cover for subsidence damage, though there is usually an excess of around £1,000. We work directly with all major insurers and loss adjusters, and can manage the claims process on your behalf — including providing the structural reports and documentation your insurer will require.
How long does a typical subsidence repair project take?
The timeline depends on the repair method chosen. Modern resin injection can stabilise a property in as little as one day, while traditional underpinning may take several weeks depending on the extent of the work. During your free survey, we'll provide a clear project timeline so you know exactly what to expect.
Will I need to move out of my home during subsidence repairs?
In the vast majority of cases, no. Modern ground engineering techniques like resin injection are minimally invasive and generate very little noise or disruption, so you can remain in your home throughout. Traditional underpinning may involve some excavation work, but even then, most homeowners are able to stay in the property.
