Subsidence Repair in Croydon
Diagonal cracks in brickwork, doors that stick, or a floor that has begun to dip at your Croydon home all point to possible ground movement, and the exact cause must be established before a repair method is chosen. Tell us what you have noticed and a specialist will advise.
In Croydon, 28% of homes were built before 1919 and 40% are flats. Older housing can mean original foundations and drains are worth checking when movement appears. Flats can share structure and drainage, so a problem in one part may affect others. A local specialist can check older homes with crack monitoring to record whether movement is active before any subsidence repair is planned.

Croydon: what homeowners are asking
Easier in writing? Email us
A crack has appeared in my Croydon flat. What should happen first?
About 40% of homes in Croydon are flats, so shared walls and drainage are common. A crack survey and drainage survey would usually come before any repair decision. That shows whether movement is ongoing.
Does an older Croydon house always need underpinning?
About 28% of homes in Croydon were built before 1919, so original foundations and drains may be present. An assessment can show whether underpinning is needed or whether resin injection or void filling would suit. Age alone does not decide the repair.
