Is It Subsidence? Gloucester Surveys: your questions answered
Is a crack beside a bay window always a problem?
A crack beside a bay window can be harmless, but it can also point to movement. A local specialist will look at where it sits and if it has moved. The inspection decides what work, if any, is needed.
What should I say when I contact a local specialist in Gloucester?
Say where the crack runs and if it has grown. Mention any sticking door or window. Send photos if you have them.
Does Bay Window Subsidence serve the whole of Gloucester?

How soon can Bay Window Subsidence arrange help?
Submit your details and a specialist will be in touch promptly with early guidance on your Gloucester property.
Is underpinning going to be necessary?
For many properties, it is not. A leaking drain repair, tree management or a period of crack observation resolves a large number of cases with no structural work to the foundations at all. Underpinning is only recommended by the specialist when the investigation results show the foundations genuinely need it.
