Merton Subsidence Repair
Diagonal cracks in brickwork, doors that stick, or a floor that has begun to dip at your Merton 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.
What to know in Merton
Movement at a Merton property is worth writing down before anyone is called. Note where the crack sits, how wide it looks against a ruler, and whether a door or window has begun to catch. An enquiry should give the building's rough age, the type of construction, and any drainage work already done. A local specialist can then arrange a structural survey or crack monitoring and say what comes next. Subsidence repair in Merton starts with that look at the cause.

Subsidence in Merton: questions addressed

How can I tell whether a crack is still moving?
A telltale sign is a crack that is wider at one end than the other, or one that has grown since you last measured it. Crack monitoring by a local specialist will show whether movement is still going on. A structural survey can then look at the cause.
Do I need a drainage survey as well as a structural survey?
Each answers a different question. A drainage survey looks at the pipes and whether water is escaping into the ground, while a structural survey looks at the building itself. A local specialist can arrange either, and drain filling can follow if a void is found.
Do you cover the whole of Merton?
Yes. Specialists cover all of Merton and its surrounding areas, as well as neighbouring towns across Greater London. Wherever you are locally, a specialist can help.
How quickly can you help?
Send us your details through the enquiry form and a specialist will come back to you promptly with initial advice for your Merton property.
Will I need underpinning?
Often not. Many cases in this area are resolved by drainage repair, tree management or monitoring. A specialist only recommends underpinning where investigation shows it is genuinely required.
