Is It Subsidence? Plymouth Surveys: your questions answered
How do I know if movement at a bay window needs a closer look?
Look at the gap and the crack beside the frame, then mark the ends with a pencil. A local specialist can check the wall ties and the footing. Keep a note of any door or window that begins to stick.
What should I mention when I make an enquiry about a bay window?
Say which side the crack or gap is on and how long you have seen it. Mention any sticking window or door and any recent work near the bay. Ask about crack monitoring and root barrier installation if roots are suspected.

How soon can Bay Window Subsidence arrange help?

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.
