What matters for Barking and Dagenham properties
If you own a property in Barking and Dagenham and notice new cracks, or a door that no longer closes, an enquiry about subsidence repair should say where the cracks are, when they first appeared and whether building work has happened nearby. A local specialist can then advise on crack monitoring or a structural survey before anything is agreed. Describe the building plainly and keep photographs of the damage to hand.

What should I have ready when I ask about a crack in my wall?
Note where the crack runs, how wide it looks and whether it has changed since you first saw it. Photographs taken over a few weeks help a local specialist judge whether crack monitoring is needed. Mention any recent building work at the property or next door.
Can a drainage problem cause movement in a house?
Water escaping from a drain can soften the ground under a foundation, and a drainage survey is often the first check. If a drain is at fault, drain filling or a repair may come before any foundation work. A local specialist will set out the order the work should take.
