When the ground beneath your home shifts, it can cause cracks, sloping floors, and other warning signs of subsidence. We specialise in repairing these issues quickly and effectively, helping to stabilise your property and prevent costly future damage.

Detecting early signs of subsidence

Not all subsidence problems are obvious at first. Slight tilts in door frames, uneven floors, or small gaps around windows can all be early warning signs. Our team helps homeowners identify these issues early on, providing expert assessments that allow for timely action and preventing minor problems from turning into major structural concerns.

Custom solutions for your property type

Every property is unique, and the soil beneath your home can react differently to natural changes over time. We create repair strategies specifically designed for your soil type, building structure, and local conditions. This ensures that our solutions are effective, durable, and designed to keep your home stable for years to come.

Providing peace of mind with expert guidance

Subsidence can feel overwhelming, but our team guides you through the entire process from assessment to completion. We explain every step in clear, simple terms, provide honest advice, and implement solutions with care, so you can feel confident that your home is in safe hands.

Preventing future movement with long-term planning

Fixing current subsidence is only part of the solution. We also focus on preventing future movement by monitoring ground conditions and implementing stabilisation measures that reduce the risk of recurrence. This long-term approach helps ensure your property stays secure.

Noticing the signs of subsidence early can save you stress, time, and expensive repairs. Look out for these common indicators that the ground beneath your home may be shifting:

• Uneven floors or sloping rooms – Floors that feel tilted or uneven can indicate movement in the soil supporting your property.
• Gaps around walls or skirting boards – Spaces appearing where walls meet floors or ceilings may suggest your home is settling unevenly.
• Sudden sticking or misaligned fixtures – Cupboards, built-in shelving, or fitted furniture that no longer fits properly can signal structural shifts.
• Cracks in exterior brickwork or masonry – While internal cracks are common, large or uneven cracks in brickwork can point to subsidence beneath the surface.

If you spot any of these signs, it’s important to arrange a professional subsidence assessment promptly. Early intervention can prevent further movement and protect the long-term safety and value of your property.

Living with shifting ground

Subsidence isn’t always dramatic, but it quietly affects the way your home feels and functions. Floors may seem slightly uneven, door frames can shift, or rooms may feel subtly out of alignment.

These changes happen because the soil beneath your property naturally settles over time.

London’s clay-rich ground makes this especially common, and understanding how your home interacts with its environment is key to maintaining stability.

The ripple effect on home systems

Even small movement in the ground can have a wider impact than most people realise. Plumbing, wiring, and heating systems all rely on a stable structure, and subsidence can put unexpected strain on these essential systems.

Pipes may warp or joints can loosen, and energy efficiency can drop if walls and foundations shift.

Addressing subsidence early helps protect not just your home’s structure, but everything inside it.
