What happens during resin injection ground stabilisation, step by step?

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.
Ground and drain checks
Trial pits or probes confirm the soil profile, and a CCTV drain survey checks for leaks and for pipes in the injection zone. Damaged drains are repaired first, so resin is not lost into them or used to treat a cause that is still active.
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.

How we usually approach 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

Rules for resin injection ground stabilisation 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 resin injection ground stabilisation in Gloucester

How much should I budget for resin injection ground stabilisation in Gloucester?

Guide prices for resin injection ground stabilisation in Gloucester start from about £825 per metre of wall treated, including VAT, on South West rates. Your fixed written price follows photos or a survey and depends on the extent of the work and access.

Why do houses in Gloucestershire crack?

The Severn vale around Gloucester, Cheltenham and Tewkesbury is Lias and Mercia Mudstone clay, the Cotswolds are limestone, and the Forest of Dean has a historic coalfield. Parts of South Gloucestershire around Kingswood also lie on old Coal Measures. Only an investigation can say why a particular building has moved.

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.

Does resin injection work on clay soil?

Sometimes, but clay needs the most caution. If seasonal shrinkage from nearby trees is the cause, resin under the footing may not stop the drying below it. An engineer should look at the soil, the trees and the monitoring history before resin is chosen for a clay site.
