Resin injection ground stabilisation in Dungannon
Homeowners in Dungannon often hear of resin injection as a quicker alternative to underpinning. It can be, provided the problem lies in the upper layers of soil and the drains have been checked, because resin stabilises ground but cannot stop an active leak.

Is County Tyrone prone to ground movement?
With roughly 12,000 people, Dungannon spans postcode districts BT71 in County Tyrone. Nearby, we also cover Cookstown (10 miles), Armagh (11 miles) and Portadown (14 miles).
Shrinkable clay is less common in County Tyrone than in south-east England. Parts of County Tyrone lie on a former coalfield, so a coal mining search is worth checking if movement has no obvious cause. Across County Tyrone, most homes are market-town terraces, rural houses and post-war estates.
What happens during resin injection ground stabilisation, step by step?
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.
Level monitoring
Readings after treatment show whether the ground is holding. Once they are steady, cracks are stitched and redecoration can follow. If a section keeps moving, the engineer decides whether further injection or a different method is needed.
What to look for before calling about resin injection ground stabilisation
- Cracks over a section of wall built on loose fill
- Sinking that trial pits trace to loose or washed-out soil
- Gaps opening beneath a ground-floor slab or path

How we usually approach resin injection ground stabilisation
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
Injection beneath strip footings
Holes are drilled at close spacing along the wall, and tubes are placed at one or more depths below the footing. Resin is injected in stages from the bottom up, building a stiffened zone of ground under the wall while levels are read continuously.
Best for: Settled walls on loose or washed-out soil at shallow depth
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.
Questions about resin injection ground stabilisation in Dungannon
How much will resin injection ground stabilisation cost in Dungannon?

Is the ground in County Tyrone prone to subsidence?
Tyrone has glacial till over varied rock, with a small historic coalfield around Coalisland near Dungannon. Only an investigation can say why a particular building has moved.
Can resin injection lift my house back to level?
It can produce small, controlled lifts, but it is not a way to jack a house back to its original position. The main aim is to stabilise the ground. Laser levels are watched throughout so injection stops before the lift strains the walls or opens new cracks.
Is resin injection better than underpinning?
It is better for some jobs and unsuitable for others. Resin is quicker and less disruptive where the problem is loose or washed-out soil close to the footing. Underpinning or mini-piles are usually the safer choice for deep soft ground or clay dried by trees that cannot be removed.
