Insurance claims
Subsidence and your buildings policy
Most buildings insurance policies list subsidence as a covered peril, but the excess on a subsidence claim is typically set above the standard excess on the same policy, and the conditions each insurer attaches differ. Check your policy schedule and speak to your insurer before repair work is booked.
If a claim is already under way, have the claim reference number and the loss adjuster's name ready when you send your details. The specialist attending the property can address the technical aspects of the claim directly from their first visit. After work such as underpinning, resin injection or piling is completed, the specialist may issue a certificate you can store with your property records and show to a future buyer or insurer if the repair history is ever questioned.

Stage by stage
From first report to finished repair
- 1
Describe the damage
Put the property address in the form and say in a few lines what you have noticed: cracks above a window or door, a step in the brickwork, a floor that has dropped toward one corner, or a frame that no longer closes properly. Say which way the cracks run, about how wide they are, and when they first appeared. Say whether the problem looks the same now or has got worse. A photo taken next to a coin or a pen gives the specialist a sense of scale. The quote is free of charge.

A phone call from a specialist
A subsidence specialist will ring you to go over what you have described and ask a few more questions. They will want to know the age of the house, the soil beneath it if you are aware of it, whether trees with large roots stand close by, and whether a drain or gutter has been losing water near the base of the house. Mention now if an insurer has already opened a claim.
- 3
Establishing the cause
From your account, the specialist judges whether a visit to the property will add anything. Where movement looks active, crack monitors can be fitted to take readings over several weeks. The pattern shows whether the building is still shifting, whether clay soil is drying and shrinking, or whether the structure has settled into a stable position. That evidence decides the repair method.

Your free written quote
When the specialist has enough information, they write down the likely cause and price the repair that addresses it. Repairs might involve removing a tree whose roots dry out shrinkable clay, using resin injection to stabilise the ground, tying cracks together, or underpinning so the foundation reaches a more solid layer. You are not charged for the quote.
- 5
The repair is carried out
The specialist confirms access, sets out which parts of the house and garden will be disturbed, and agrees a programme before work begins. The scope follows the evidence. A house that has stopped moving does not receive work beyond what the findings support.
- 6
Documents handed over
When the repair is finished, the specialist prepares a report covering the cause, the work performed, and the state of the property at that moment. Store any certificate the specialist provides with your property records. Insurers, mortgage lenders and the solicitors acting for buyers ask for records of past ground movement.
How Home Subsidence Repairs helps you get the problem sorted
Subsidence across the UK: cause found, repair done
Drainage checked as part of every investigation
A slow leak from a buried pipe can wash fine material from beneath a footing for months without any sign at the surface. The specialist checks below-ground drainage wherever it looks like a factor.
Root and soil causes identified
Clay shrinking in a dry period and tree roots drawing moisture from shallow ground each produce distinct crack patterns. The specialist works out which is at play before any repair is discussed.
Crack patterns read before conclusions are drawn
The specialist examines how cracking has developed across walls, openings and junctions to understand what is happening at foundation level, not just what is visible above ground.
Keeping watch when repair is not yet required
Some cracks follow seasonal patterns and narrow again through the colder months. Tracking movement over several months confirms whether it is active, which shapes the decision about whether repair is needed at all.
Lighter methods considered before heavy work
For some shallow foundations, resin injection can provide stability with far less disruption than traditional underpinning. The specialist explains which method the findings point to and what each route entails.
A written report after every visit
After every visit you get a written report covering what was found, the cause of the movement and what the specialist advises. You can share that report with your insurer, solicitor or mortgage lender.
