If you live in East Sheen and have noticed cracks in your walls, sloping floors, or doors that won’t close properly, your property could be affected by subsidence.
At Subsidence Claims, we specialise in helping East Sheen homeowners navigate the process of claiming on their home insurance for subsidence-related damage. From initial diagnosis to full settlement and repair, we’re here to handle the entire process for you.
Dealing with subsidence can be stressful and time-consuming—but you don’t have to face it alone. We combine local knowledge with technical expertise to ensure your home is protected and your insurer meets their responsibilities.
Understanding Subsidence in East Sheen
East Sheen is known for its elegant period homes, family houses, and green spaces—but it also sits on ground that can be prone to subsidence. The area’s underlying London clay is highly susceptible to movement during changes in moisture levels, especially during long dry spells or when tree roots extract too much water from the soil. Older properties with shallow foundations can be particularly at risk.
Signs your home may be suffering from subsidence include:
-
Diagonal cracks, particularly around windows and doors
-
Doors or windows that have become stiff or misaligned
-
Uneven or sloping floors
-
Gaps between walls and ceilings or skirting boards
-
Cracks that return after previous repairs
If you’ve noticed any of these signs in your East Sheen home, it’s important to take action as early as possible. Delaying can lead to more damage—and make the claims process more complex.

East Sheen 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.
