If your Kensington property is showing signs of subsidence—such as new cracks, shifting floors, or sticking doors—it’s important to take action quickly.
At Subsidence Claims, we specialise in helping Kensington homeowners claim on their buildings insurance for structural damage caused by subsidence. From the initial inspection to securing a full settlement and overseeing repairs, we handle the entire process on your behalf.
Subsidence can be a complex and disruptive issue, especially in high-value or historic properties. That’s why we provide a dedicated, end-to-end service designed to make the claims process simple, stress-free, and successful.
Why Subsidence Happens in Kensington
Kensington is known for its elegant townhouses, period buildings, and prestigious developments—but even the most well-built homes aren’t immune to subsidence. Much of the area is built on London clay, which expands and contracts with changes in moisture levels. Prolonged dry spells, nearby trees, leaking drains, or groundworks can all contribute to ground movement and foundation instability.
If your property is affected, you may notice:
-
Diagonal or stepped cracks around windows and doors
-
Doors or windows that are suddenly difficult to open or close
-
Sloping or uneven floors
-
Gaps between walls, ceilings, or skirting boards
-
Cracks that keep returning even after being repaired
If any of these signs are present, it’s essential to seek expert help as soon as possible. Early intervention can limit the damage and improve the likelihood of a successful claim.
How We Help Kensington Homeowners

-
Compile and submit the necessary documentation and evidence

Kensington 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.
