Frequently Asked Questions
How much does foundation repair cost?
It depends on the method and scale. Minor resin injection repairs start around £3,000, while significant underpinning or piling work can be £10,000–£30,000+. We provide a fixed, itemised quote after our free survey.
Can foundation damage be repaired without underpinning?
Yes, in many cases. Resin injection can stabilise foundations without excavation, and is suitable where ground conditions allow. We always recommend the least invasive effective method.
Will foundation repair affect my ability to sell?
No — it helps. Unresolved foundation issues are a major red flag for buyers and mortgage lenders. Certified repairs with a structural warranty remove the concern entirely.
How do I know if my foundation needs repair?
Key signs include diagonal wall cracks wider than 3mm, doors and windows that jam, sloping floors, and gaps between walls and ceilings. If in doubt, our free survey will confirm whether repair is needed.
Is foundation repair covered by insurance?
Yes, if the damage is caused by subsidence, heave, or landslip. We provide the structural engineer's report and documentation your insurer requires to process the claim.
How long does foundation repair take?
Resin injection is typically completed in 1 day. Traditional methods take 2–6 weeks depending on the scope. We confirm timelines before any work starts.
