Worried about cracks in your walls, sloping floors, or sticking doors and windows? If you live in Mortlake, these could be signs of subsidence—and we’re here to help.
At Subsidence Claims, we support homeowners throughout Mortlake in making successful insurance claims for damage caused by subsidence. From the initial assessment to final repairs, we manage the process from start to finish so you don’t have to.
Subsidence can be a serious issue, but you don’t need to face it alone. Our experienced team will guide you every step of the way, protecting both your home and your finances.
Understanding Subsidence in Mortlake
Mortlake is home to a range of period properties and newer builds, many of which are built on London clay. This type of soil is known for shrinking and shifting as moisture levels change, particularly during hot, dry weather. Mature trees, faulty drainage, and nearby construction can all make the problem worse, increasing the risk of ground movement beneath your home.
Look out for these common signs of subsidence:
-
Diagonal or stepped cracks in walls, especially around windows and doors
-
Doors or windows that suddenly stick or become difficult to open
-
Uneven, sloping, or bouncing floors
-
Gaps between walls and ceilings or between walls and skirting boards
-
Repaired cracks that reappear or continue to widen
If you’ve noticed any of these signs, it’s important to act quickly. Left unchecked, subsidence can lead to more serious damage and make your insurance claim harder to manage.

Subsidence Claims Mortlake—Trusted Experts in Structural Support and Insurance Success.
Mortlake case studies that speak volumes
Our panel solicitors have a wealth of experience in dealing with subsidence claims, and their success stories highlight the importance of expert legal support.
A Battle of Stability
Imagine submitting a claim only for the insurer to drag their feet for six years, all while insisting your property merely needs a fresh coat of paint. This was the reality for one homeowner who, upon refusal to settle for less, partnered with our panel solicitors.
Through legal action and undeniable expert evidence, the homeowner saw justice as the insurer was compelled to pay over £200,000 for necessary demolition and reconstruction.
Root Barrier Resistance
Another homeowner faced acknowledgment of their subsidence issue by their insurer but was met with a cost-cutting solution—a root barrier.
Expert advice revealed the true necessity of underpinning, a stance the insurer refused to accept until legal proceedings forced their hand, resulting in a payout exceeding £300,000.
