What Bay Window Subsidence does for you
Cause identified before any repair is proposed
The specialist looks at crack patterns across the bay, the main wall junction and the surrounding ground to work out why movement happened before any fix is discussed.
Root and soil factors examined
Clay shrinking during a dry period and roots pulling moisture from shallow ground produce different outcomes. The specialist pinpoints which factor is at play.
Underground pipework inspected
A slow leak from a pipe underground can wash material away from below a foundation over several months without any sign appearing at the surface. Where that looks likely, the specialist checks the drainage run.
Lower-impact options reviewed before heavier works
Resin injection can stabilise some shallow bay foundations with far less upheaval than mass concrete work. The specialist explains which method suits the findings.
Report issued following each visit
After each visit the specialist produces a written summary covering what they found, what caused the movement, and what work follows. That report can be passed directly to your insurer, solicitor or lender.
Work proportionate to the findings
Where monitoring shows that movement has stopped, the specialist will say so. No remedial work is put forward unless the findings support it.

Bay window movement and your buildings insurance
Most home insurance schedules include subsidence as a named peril, but the portion of a subsidence-related claim you pay yourself is often set well above the routine excess, and the precise terms vary from one insurer to the next. Look through your policy schedule and call your insurer before any remedial work is booked.
If a claim is already running, note the reference number and the loss adjuster's name before you submit your details so the specialist who attends can get straight into the technical picture from their first visit. Where underpinning, resin injection or similar repair work is carried out, the specialist may issue a certificate you can file with your property records and show to a future purchaser or mortgage lender should questions arise about the repair.
