A homeowner spots a crack on a Tuesday. By Friday, four different contractors have given them four different prices, two have used the word "catastrophic", and the cheapest is already booked for the wrong job.
We started Subsidence Ltd in 2023 because the standard journey — diagnosis confusion, year‑long underpinning, garden dug up, insurer at arm's length — is a wildly disproportionate response to a problem that, in 90% of cases, is solvable in half a day with a drill and a tank of resin.
What we do isn't magic. We use UK‑sourced two‑part structural resin, injected through 16mm tubes, to re‑bear the soil column directly beneath the affected footing. The chemistry is forty years old and well understood. The craft is in the survey, the soil work, and where you put the needles — and that's where we spend our time.
Today we run two main depots — in Cheshire and London — covering hubs across England, Wales and Scotland. We're independently owned, profitable, and have no intention of being acquired: staying close to the work is the whole point.
Every project starts with a laser baseline and a soil probe. We refuse to quote without a survey.
Our quotes are itemised in £ and m². No allowances, no provisional sums, no surprises.
Flags reinstated, landscaping restored, dust swept. The neighbours often don't realise we were there.
Every project is signed off by a competent engineer and backed by a 10‑year written warranty.
Tell us what you're seeing. We'll book a same‑week survey, produce a written engineering report, and quote in plain numbers.
