What Causes Subsidence in Bankside?
Homes in Bankside can be affected by subsidence due to various factors, including:
- Soil Conditions: Some areas of Bankside have clay-heavy soil, which can shrink and shift with changes in moisture levels, causing foundations to move.
- Tree Roots: Large trees and vegetation near your property can absorb moisture from the soil, leading to ground instability.
- Leaking Drains and Water Pipes: Water leaks can weaken the soil beneath your foundations, making your property more prone to movement.
- Historic and Older Buildings: Many homes in Bankside were built with shallow foundations, increasing their vulnerability to subsidence.
Common signs of subsidence include cracks in walls, doors and windows sticking, and uneven floors. If you’ve noticed these issues, professional assessment is crucial.

Bankside 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.
