Our conservatory subsidence repair services
Is your home showing these signs?
Cracks get more expensive the longer they are left. Watch for these and have anything suspicious looked at promptly.
Signs worth a specialist look
- Diagonal cracks wider than a 10p coin (3mm), often near doors and windows
- Cracks that taper, wider at the top than the bottom
- Doors and windows that suddenly stick or drop out of square
- Cracks visible both inside and outside in the same place
- Rippling wallpaper or gaps opening where extensions meet the main house
- Cracking that worsens after a hot, dry summer or near a large tree
What causes subsidence in the United Kingdom?
Ground conditions vary across the United Kingdom. Movement is often linked to shrink-swell soils, leaking drains or nearby trees. The most common local triggers are:
- Clay shrinkage, often drawn out by nearby trees
- Leaking drains washing out or softening the ground
- Tree roots taking moisture from clay soils
- Made ground and poorly compacted fill settling over time
Understand the cause before you commit
Subsidence is frightening, but most movement has a clear, fixable cause, and it is often far less drastic than homeowners fear. Cracking blamed on subsidence is frequently thermal movement, a leaking drain or a thirsty tree, none of which require underpinning. A local specialist finds out what is really happening beneath your home, and puts it right proportionately.

Answers first
Is subsidence always expensive to fix?
No. Many cases are resolved by repairing a drain, managing a tree or monitoring a stable crack, all far cheaper than underpinning. Underpinning is the exception, not the rule, and a specialist only recommends it when the evidence requires it.
Will subsidence stop me selling my home?
Not if it's properly investigated and, where needed, repaired and documented. A clear engineer's report reassures buyers, surveyors and lenders. Ignoring it is what causes problems at sale.
Should I claim on my insurance?
Subsidence is a standard peril on most buildings policies. Whether to claim depends on the cause and your excess. A specialist can help you gather the evidence and can advise on, and support, a claim.
