Your trusted partner in navigating the complexities of insurance claims for subsidence damage
If your property in Sheffield is showing signs of subsidence, we are here to help you secure the compensation you deserve.
What is Subsidence?
Subsidence is the gradual sinking or settling of the ground beneath a building. This can cause significant structural damage to properties, including:
- Cracks in walls, floors, and ceilings
- Doors and windows sticking or not closing properly
- Uneven floors
- Gaps between walls and skirting boards
These issues can lead to expensive repairs if not addressed promptly. Subsidence is often caused by factors such as:
- Soil type and moisture levels
- Tree roots
- Water leakage from damaged drains or plumbing

Sheffield 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.
