Our Expertise...
Factual Reports
Investigation into a case of subsidence first starts with an inspection by one of our subsidence engineers, who will inspect the property and prepare a detailed report. A decision can then be made as to whether subsidence or heave is the likely cause of damage, and the appropriate next steps can then be determined.
Diagnostic Investigations
In most cases, a property is insured against the risk of subsidence/heave the insurer therefore should be informed. Our professional team can support you throughout the whole process from the initial inspection, monitoring and soil analysis, through to the formulation of the
remedial scheme.
Remedial Design & Repair
We recognise that the scope of repairs is extremely important to the property owner and should not diminish the property value. Over the years, our team of subsidence specialists have successfully designed and supervised remediation schemes together with the associated EAP Envoy Ltd, an FCA regulated and approved company, resolutely negotiating insurance claims.
