Resin injection ground stabilisation in Craigavon
For a Craigavon house that has settled over loose fill or ground washed out by a drain, expanding resin can firm the soil in a day or two. It is done through small drilled holes, so gardens and paths are left largely as they were.

How do local ground conditions affect resin injection ground stabilisation in Craigavon?
Craigavon (BT64, BT65, BT66) has around 59,000 residents and sits in County Armagh. Neighbouring towns we cover: Portadown (3 miles), Banbridge (8 miles) and Armagh (13 miles).
Most of County Armagh is on firmer ground than the clay belts of the south-east. Ground movement here is more often linked to soils, drains and trees than to mining. Typical buildings in County Armagh: Georgian houses in Armagh, brick terraces in Portadown and Lurgan, and post-war estates.
Methods for resin injection ground stabilisation
Resin alongside other repairs
Injection often forms one part of a wider scheme: drains repaired first, resin under the affected section, then crack stitching and making good once readings settle. On a mixed site, one wall may suit resin while another needs conventional underpinning instead.
Best for: Localised settlement within a broader subsidence repair
Slab void filling and lifting
Small holes are drilled through the floor, and resin is fed into the void between the slab and the fill. As it expands it fills the gap and can lift the slab by small, controlled amounts. Floor coverings are lifted locally and the holes filled afterwards.
Best for: Sunken concrete ground floors and garage slabs
From first photo to finished repair
Is resin suitable?
Send photos and any reports you hold. We give a free initial assessment, and an independent engineer then checks soil type, depth to firm ground and the cause. We can arrange the engineer. Clay and tree problems need particular care.
Design and written price
The injection depths, spacing and target lift are set out before work starts. We confirm a fixed price in writing for the treated length, the monitoring and the making good, and deal with building control where the work needs it.
Injection day
Holes are drilled, tubes placed and resin injected in stages while laser levels on the wall are watched for any rise. Most domestic jobs are done from outside, with little mess. Holes are filled and joints made good at the end.
Symptoms that point to resin injection ground stabilisation
- Floor slab dropping or hollow-sounding near one external wall
- A corner that has dropped but no longer moves with the seasons
- Gaps opening beneath a ground-floor slab or path

Rules for resin injection ground stabilisation in Northern Ireland
In Northern Ireland, the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012 apply and the council’s building control service approves structural work such as underpinning; minor like-for-like repairs usually need no approval. The Party Wall Act does not apply in Northern Ireland, so work to shared walls depends on deeds and agreement with neighbours.
Frequently asked questions
What is the price of resin injection ground stabilisation in Craigavon?
Guide prices for resin injection ground stabilisation in Craigavon start from about £705 per metre of wall treated, including VAT, on Northern Ireland rates. Your fixed written price follows photos or a survey and depends on the extent of the work and access.
Do you carry out resin injection ground stabilisation in Craigavon?
Yes, Craigavon is covered, along with postcode districts BT64, BT65, BT66. We also cover nearby Portadown and Banbridge.
Does the ground around Craigavon cause cracking?
County Armagh has glacial drumlin till over older rock, with soft ground and peat near Lough Neagh. Only an investigation can say why a particular building has moved.
Is the resin harmful to the ground or drains?
Once cured, the resin is inert in the ground. The practical risk is resin travelling into a damaged drain or service duct, which is why a CCTV drain survey comes first and any defects are repaired before injection. Services near the treated zone are located and protected.
Will I need to move out?
Usually not, because most domestic injection is done from outside along the wall over one or two days. Slab treatments mean working inside, so furniture and floor coverings are moved locally. There is drilling noise, but very little dust or spoil compared with digging.
