Subsidence Repairs
We provide professional subsidence investigation and repair services to stabilise affected properties and prevent further structural movement.
Understanding Subsidence
Subsidence occurs when the ground beneath a property begins to sink or shift, causing the structure to move or settle unevenly. Common signs include cracks in walls, uneven floors and sticking doors or windows. Early action is essential to prevent worsening structural issues.
Subsidence Surveys & Diagnosis
We carry out detailed structural surveys to assess the cause, extent and severity of subsidence. This includes checking soil conditions, drainage issues, tree roots and foundation movement. A clear diagnosis helps determine the correct repair method for long-term stability.
Crack Stabilisation & Monitoring
Visible cracks are assessed and stabilised to prevent further movement. We may install crack monitoring gauges to track ongoing changes. This helps identify whether the building is still moving and ensures repairs are timed and planned effectively.
Foundation Repairs
If foundation movement is confirmed, we carry out repairs such as underpinning, mass concrete strengthening or targeted ground improvement. These methods reinforce the foundation and provide solid, long-term support to the structure above.
Soil & Drainage Improvements
Subsidence is often linked to poor soil conditions, water saturation or leaking drains. We address these issues by repairing drainage systems, improving ground conditions or removing problematic tree roots. These measures help prevent future subsidence.
Structural Reinforcement
We stabilise affected walls and structural elements using methods such as wall stitching, helical bars and masonry reinforcement. These repairs restore strength, reduce further cracking and ensure the building remains safe and secure.
Additional Structural Services
We also offer brickwork crack repairs, repointing, lintel replacement and general masonry strengthening. These services support long-term stability and help maintain the structural integrity of your property.
