Clay soils are found in parts of North Yorkshire. Parts of North Yorkshire lie on a former coalfield, so a coal mining search is worth checking if movement has no obvious cause. Across North Yorkshire, most homes are stone cottages, Georgian and Victorian houses in York and Harrogate, and brick terraces on Teesside.

What happens during mining subsidence repairs, step by step?

Report and photograph
Photograph every crack with a scale and note the date it appeared. Report suspected coal-mining damage to the Mining Remediation Authority, or the operator of a working mine, and notify your home insurer. Time limits can apply, so report promptly.
Written price to the scope
We price the repair from the engineer’s or claim schedule and confirm a fixed price in writing once the work is specified. Where a claim body or insurer is handling the repair, their own process for appointing contractors applies.
Repairs and records
Work proceeds once any ground treatment is complete and the engineer is satisfied. We stitch, stabilise or underpin as specified, make good inside and out, deal with building control where needed, and hand over records for your file.

How we usually approach mining subsidence repairs

Pricing an engineer’s repair scope

When a claim is under way, the engineer or claim handler usually writes the scope of repairs. We price that schedule item by item, at no charge to request, and carry out the work if you choose us. Anything outside the scope is shown separately.

Best for: Homeowners with a mining claim or engineer’s report in hand

Underpinning to sound ground

Where the engineer specifies it, foundations are taken down by mass concrete, beam-and-base or mini-piles to ground that will not move further. On mining sites the design often follows grouting of old workings so the new foundation sits above a stable mass.

Best for: Ongoing movement or damage beyond what crack repairs can hold

Rules for mining subsidence repairs in England

In England, underpinning and other work that alters or strengthens a wall or foundation is building work under the Building Regulations (Part A, structure), so building control approves and inspects it. Like-for-like repairs often are not, and we tell you which applies before a price is agreed. Work to a party wall, or excavation close to a neighbour’s foundations, can also need a notice under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996.

Questions about mining subsidence repairs in Redcar

How much will mining subsidence repairs cost in Redcar?

Guide prices for mining subsidence repairs in Redcar start from about £75 per metre of crack, including VAT, on Yorkshire and the Humber rates. Your fixed written price follows photos or a survey and depends on the extent of the work and access.

Do you cover Redcar?

Yes. We take enquiries from across Redcar, including TS6, TS10, and from nearby places such as Guisborough and Middlesbrough. Send photos for a free initial view and we will tell you what happens next.

Is the ground in North Yorkshire prone to subsidence?

North Yorkshire ranges from limestone dales and moors to clays and glacial deposits in the Vale of York, with the Selby coalfield in the south and ironstone workings in Cleveland. Teesside has areas of soft and made ground. Only an investigation can say why a particular building has moved.

How do I make a mining subsidence claim?

Start by reporting the damage to the Mining Remediation Authority, describing when it appeared and including photographs. They will usually arrange an inspection and investigation. Report promptly, because time limits can apply. Keep copies of everything you send, and notify your home insurer in parallel.

What about salt, lead or ironstone mining?

Damage from non-coal mining follows different routes. Cheshire’s brine areas have their own statutory compensation arrangements, while metal, ironstone and limestone workings often have no equivalent scheme, leaving your home insurer as the main route. A solicitor or your insurer can confirm which applies.
