Is Greater London prone to ground movement?

Hammersmith and Fulham is one of the 32 London boroughs, with around 180,000 residents in districts such as SW13, SW14, W3, W4, W6. Nearby, we also cover Kensington and Chelsea (1 miles), Wandsworth (3 miles) and Westminster (4 miles).

Greater London is one of the parts of the UK where clay soils are most likely to move with the seasons. Ground movement here is more often linked to soils, drains and trees than to mining. Across Greater London, most homes are Victorian and Edwardian terraces with shallow footings, inter-war semis in the outer boroughs, and converted flats and mansion blocks.

What happens when we carry out resin injection ground stabilisation in Hammersmith and Fulham?

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.
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.
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.

Which repair method suits a home in Hammersmith and Fulham?

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

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.

Does the ground around Hammersmith and Fulham cause cracking?

Most of Greater London sits on London Clay, among the most shrinkage-prone ground in the UK, with river gravels along the Thames. Subsidence claims here are among the most frequent in the country, especially after dry summers and near street and garden trees. 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.

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.
