What is the ground like in Warwickshire?
Much of Warwickshire is Mercia Mudstone and Lias clay, with the Warwickshire coalfield under Nuneaton and Bedworth in the north. Clay soils near trees can shrink in dry summers.
Parts of Warwickshire lie on a former coalfield, so a coal mining search is worth checking if movement has no obvious cause.
What usually causes cracking in Warwickshire?
In Warwickshire, cracking usually comes back to one of these. We rule each in or out before recommending a repair.
- Clay in parts of the area that dries out near trees in long dry spells
- Old coal workings, where they lie close to the surface in the former coalfield
- Bay windows built on shallower footings than the main walls
- Shallow footings and corroded wall ties in older brick houses
- Extensions and bays moving differently from the main house
What kind of buildings are common here?
Regency houses in Leamington Spa, timber-framed buildings in Stratford and Warwick, and brick terraces and estates in the north.
