Living in Swindon offers a unique blend of urban convenience and rural charm
However, homeowners in this picturesque town are not immune to the challenges of subsidence, a common issue that can cause significant damage to properties. At Subsidence Claims, we specialize in helping Swindon residents navigate the complexities of insurance claims for subsidence damage.
Understanding Subsidence in Swindon
Subsidence occurs when the ground beneath a building sinks, pulling the property’s foundations down with it. This can result in structural damage, such as cracks in walls, floors, and ceilings, which can be both unsightly and dangerous if left untreated. In Swindon, subsidence is often caused by:
- Soil Composition: The clay-rich soil prevalent in Swindon can shrink during dry periods, causing the ground to sink.
- Tree Roots: Trees and large shrubs near your property can extract significant amounts of moisture from the soil, exacerbating subsidence.
- Water Leaks: Broken or leaking pipes can wash away or soften the soil, leading to instability and subsidence.

Swindon 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.
