Is It Subsidence? Peterborough Surveys: your questions answered
What should I look for if I think the bay window is moving?
Look for a gap at the edge of the bay. Look for a crack in the wall beside it. Ask a local specialist whether crack monitoring is needed.
What information should I give when I ask about movement at a bay window?
Bring the address and a note of which part of the bay has changed. Say if the window has become harder to open or close.
Does Bay Window Subsidence serve the whole of Peterborough?
Yes. Specialists attend properties throughout Peterborough and the surrounding area, and elsewhere across the United Kingdom. Wherever your property is, a specialist can attend.
How soon can Bay Window Subsidence arrange help?
Submit your details and a specialist will be in touch promptly with early guidance on your Peterborough 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.
