Why does the ground in Derbyshire matter for structural repairs?
Clay soils are found in parts of Derbyshire. Parts of Derbyshire lie on a former coalfield, so a coal mining search is worth checking if movement has no obvious cause. Across Derbyshire, most homes are brick terraces in former mining towns, gritstone cottages in the Peak, and inter-war and post-war semis.
