Experienced Subsidence & Structural Repair Contractors
Cracks in walls or ceilings and other signs of movement can indicate problems that require professional investigation. Subsidence can have several causes, including soil conditions, changes in ground moisture, tree roots and leaking pipework, making a thorough assessment important before the appropriate repair work is established.
Subsidence Damage Assessments
We can inspect signs of movement and assess the property to help establish the extent of the damage and repairs required.
Structural Repair Experience
Heron Construction has experience managing substantial structural repair projects involving properties affected by subsidence and movement.
Underpinning & Mini Piling Experience
Our previous subsidence projects include major works involving excavation, underpinning and mini piling to address structural problems.
Insurance Claims Support
We can work with property owners, insurance companies and loss adjusters throughout subsidence claims and the associated repair work.
Assessing, Stabilising & Repairing Subsidence Damage
Subsidence and building movement can develop for different reasons, and identifying the underlying problem is an important part of determining what repairs are required. Soil type, reduced ground moisture, nearby tree roots and leaking or failed pipework can all contribute to movement. Older properties can also be particularly vulnerable, making visible cracking or changes within the building something that should be properly assessed rather than ignored.
Heron Construction has experience undertaking complex subsidence projects requiring significant structural work. Previous projects have included excavation and mini piling followed by reinforced structural works, as well as repairs associated with collapsed drainage systems and ground movement. Our ability to coordinate building, groundworks, drainage and other specialist trades is particularly valuable where the cause and resulting damage involve several areas of the property.
Where subsidence damage forms part of an insurance claim, our team can prepare detailed information on the damage and repairs required and work directly with the insurer and loss adjuster as the project progresses. Once the appropriate repair solution has been agreed, Heron Construction can coordinate the structural work and subsequent building and decorative reinstatement, providing one experienced contractor through to completion.

Yes. Heron Construction has experience with substantial structural repair projects resulting from subsidence, including projects involving excavation, underpinning, mini piling and reinforced structural work.
