Subsidence Repair FAQs

What are the signs of subsidence?

Common signs include diagonal cracks in walls (especially around doors and windows), doors and windows sticking, and rippling wallpaper. Cracks wider than 3mm that grow over time are a strong indicator.

Will my insurance cover subsidence repair?

Most home insurance policies cover subsidence damage. We work directly with insurers and can help you with the claims process.

How long does subsidence repair take?

Depending on the method used, repairs can take anywhere from 1 day (resin injection) to several weeks (traditional underpinning). We'll give you a clear timeline during the survey.

Will I need to leave my home during repairs?

In most cases, no. Modern techniques like resin injection are minimally invasive and can be carried out while you remain in your home.
