Calm, careful and independent — the people you call when something looks wrong.

Subsidence Investigation Services is an independent UK practice specialising in the investigation and diagnosis of subsidence, ground movement and foundation problems. We work for homeowners, insurers, solicitors and property professionals.

Typical UK home — Subsidence Investigation Services investigates properties of every age and style

Our approach

Experience that takes the worry out of subsidence.

With more than 25 years of combined experience investigating subsidence across the UK, we've seen virtually every kind of crack, every kind of soil and every kind of cause. That experience matters: most cases turn out to be far less serious than they first appear, and the right diagnosis can save thousands.

We're independent — we don't sell underpinning, repairs or building works. Our only job is to investigate the cause and recommend the proportionate response. That independence is why insurers, solicitors and homeowners trust our reports.

Every property is assigned to a qualified surveyor with direct experience of the soil, foundation and building type in question. You'll deal with a real person from the first call to the final report.
