Is It Subsidence? Cheltenham Surveys: your questions answered
What should I tell a local specialist when a bay window looks out of line?
Give the position of the cracks. Say how long you have seen them. The specialist can then decide what inspection is needed.
Will a root barrier help if roots are near the bay?
The specialist will check whether roots are involved before root barrier work. Root barrier installation is one of the services available. The specialist will say if a barrier suits the situation.

How soon can Bay Window Subsidence arrange help?
Submit your details and a specialist will be in touch promptly with early guidance on your Cheltenham property.
Is underpinning going to be necessary?

Underpinning is only recommended by the specialist when the investigation results show the foundations genuinely need it.
