Bexley Subsidence Repair
Cracks opening in walls or floors at your Bexley property may mean the ground beneath is shifting. Spot the signs early and a specialist will come back to you with a quote.
What matters for Bexley properties
Bexley has about 41% of its homes built between 1919 and 1944, so older walls and drains can need close inspection before subsidence repair. About 44% of homes are semi-detached, which affects how a structural survey and crack monitoring are arranged. A structural survey is a first step when movement appears, because it records what is happening before any repair is planned.

How can I tell if movement in my Bexley home needs subsidence repair?
Bexley's 1919 to 1944 housing makes up about 41% of the total, so older walls and drains can make a crack worth checking sooner. A structural survey can record the crack pattern, and crack monitoring can show whether movement is continuing.
Does the type of home in Bexley affect the repair approach?
Semi-detached homes make up about 44% of Bexley's stock and terraced homes about 24%, so the wall and foundation arrangement changes from one home to the next. A structural survey can set out whether foundation repairs or wall tie repairs are needed before work starts.
