Natural Subsidence Assessment

This bespoke service focuses specifically on the risk of natural ground movement and signs of subsidence affecting residential properties. It combines physical inspection of the building with professional analysis using British Geological Survey (BGS) subsidence risk datasets.

The assessment addresses factors such as shrink-swell clay, compressible or soluble ground, landslide potential, running sand and other geological conditions known to influence ground stability in the UK. Findings are illustrated using annotated BGS mapping layers to help visualise any potential concerns around the building.

This service is ideal for buyers or owners with specific concerns about structural movement, or when purchasing in areas with a history of subsidence or complex soil conditions.
