Specialist subsidence surveys, diagnosis and reporting.

When a property starts to crack, lean or move, identifying the cause is everything. Our subsidence investigations combine on-site assessment, soil and foundation checks, and drainage and vegetation surveys to pinpoint exactly what's driving the movement — so the right remedy can be chosen with confidence.

Not every crack means subsidence. We carry out professional structural assessments to distinguish between cosmetic cracking, normal settlement and genuine subsidence damage, with clear photographs, measurements and a plain‑English explanation of what we've found.

Trial pits, soil sampling and ground analysis allow us to understand exactly what's beneath your foundations. Especially important on shrinkable clay soils, made-up ground and older properties with shallow footings.

Leaking drains and thirsty roots are the two most common subsidence triggers in the UK. We use CCTV drainage surveys and root identification to confirm or rule them out — often the single most cost-effective step in the whole process.

Where movement isn't clear-cut, we monitor cracks and levels over a period of months — typically across seasons — to confirm whether the building is still moving and what's driving it. Patient, evidence-based diagnosis that prevents costly, unnecessary repairs.

Clear, professional written reports for homeowners, insurers, solicitors and lenders. Our reports set out the cause, the evidence, the recommended remedy and — where relevant — confirmation that the property has been stabilised.
