Welcome to Subsidence Claims, your trusted partner in managing and resolving subsidence issues in Hastings
If your home has been affected by subsidence, you’re not alone. Subsidence is a common problem in Hastings due to the region’s unique geological conditions. Our team of experts is here to help you navigate the complexities of subsidence claims, ensuring you receive the compensation you deserve to repair and protect your home.
What is Subsidence?
Subsidence occurs when the ground beneath a building sinks, causing the structure to shift and settle unevenly. This can lead to serious structural damage, including cracked walls, uneven floors, and sticking doors or windows. In Hastings, subsidence is often caused by factors such as:
- Clay Soil: The clay-rich soil in Hastings can shrink and expand with changes in moisture levels, leading to ground movement.
- Tree Roots: Trees and shrubs near your home can draw moisture from the soil, exacerbating subsidence.
- Water Leaks: Broken or leaking pipes can wash away soil, creating voids that cause the ground to settle.
Signs of Subsidence
It’s important to recognize the early signs of subsidence to address the issue promptly. Look out for:
- Cracks in walls, especially around doors and windows
- Doors and windows that stick or won’t close properly
- Sloping or uneven floors
- Cracks in exterior brickwork
- Gaps between walls and ceilings or floors

Hastings 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.
