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
How much does subsidence repair cost?
It depends on the method and severity. Resin injection typically costs £3,000–£8,000, while traditional underpinning can be £10,000–£30,000+. We provide a free survey and fixed quote before any work begins.
Will my insurance cover subsidence repair?
Yes, most standard home insurance policies cover subsidence damage. We work directly with insurers, handle the documentation, and can manage the claim process on your behalf.
Do I need to move out during subsidence repair?
No, in most cases you can stay. Modern methods like resin injection are completed in a day with minimal noise and no excavation. Traditional underpinning may cause more disruption, but temporary relocation is rarely needed.
How long does subsidence repair take?
Resin injection is typically completed in 1 day. Traditional underpinning takes 2–6 weeks depending on the extent of work. We confirm the timeline before starting.
Will subsidence come back after repair?
No, not if the root cause is properly addressed. Our repairs stabilise the ground permanently, and we include post-treatment monitoring to confirm long-term stability.
Can I sell a house with a history of subsidence?
Yes. A professionally repaired and certified subsidence claim does not prevent sale. We provide full documentation, structural certification, and warranty — all of which satisfy buyer solicitors and mortgage lenders.
