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 signs of subsidence?
The most common warning signs are diagonal cracks in walls — particularly around doors and windows — that are wider than 3mm and grow over time. You may also notice doors and windows sticking, rippling wallpaper, or uneven floors. If you spot any of these, it's worth getting a professional assessment.
Will my insurance cover subsidence repair?
Yes, most standard home insurance policies include cover for subsidence damage. We work directly with insurers and loss adjusters to manage the claims process on your behalf, making it as straightforward as possible.
How long does subsidence repair take?
It depends on the method. Resin injection can often be completed in a single day, while traditional underpinning may take several weeks. During your initial assessment, we'll provide a clear timeline specific to your property and the repair method recommended.
Will I need to leave my home during repairs?
No, in most cases you can stay in your home. Modern techniques like resin injection are minimally invasive and designed to be carried out with minimal disruption to your daily routine.
