Subsidence Services

Datson Consulting Ltd can provide a full consultancy service for individuals or companies who have damage to their buildings. Initially, a site inspection is conducted, followed by any necessary investigations to confirm the cause.

Once the cause has been identified, the problem is normally removed and a suitable repair to the building can be designed, scheduled, and undertaken by an approved contractor.

"Subsidence or heave of the land on which the buildings stand, or landslip" is the common wording of most insurance buildings policies. Subsidence is the most common of these perils and is often a result of:-

• Clay shrinkage caused by moisture extraction from nearby trees
• Leaking drainage or water supply pipes
• Mining features or collapses
• Solution features

Datson Consulting Ltd have over 13 years experience in dealing with claims that range from very little damage of less than £1,000 up to full reinstatement of a whole building at over £350,000.
