Subsidence Repair in Greenwich
A crack that keeps coming back after filling, or a floor that has gradually dropped on one side at your Greenwich home, is worth getting properly checked. A specialist will confirm whether the ground is involved and provide a free quote.
What to know in Greenwich
Greenwich has a mix of housing that shapes how movement shows up. About 22% of homes were built before 1919, so older walls and their footings can be affected by ground movement and need crack monitoring. About 52% of homes are flats, which means damage to a shared structure concerns more than one owner. Subsidence repair here starts with a structural survey that records what is moving before any work is planned.

How does the age of Greenwich's housing affect a subsidence check?
About 22% of the borough's homes went up before 1919, and older brickwork often carries cracks that have been there for years. A structural survey and a period of crack monitoring can separate old settlement from something still active. A local specialist would want the history of a crack before choosing resin injection or underpinning.
Will a lender or insurer ask about movement on a Greenwich home?
Homes in Greenwich sell for around £465,000 on average, and a mortgage lender or insurer will want to see that movement has been assessed rather than ignored. A structural survey records the position, and crack monitoring over a few months shows whether it is still moving. That report gives a lender or insurer something to read.
