Repair options we may recommend

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

What to expect when we carry out resin injection ground stabilisation

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.
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.

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.

Your resin injection ground stabilisation questions

What is the price of resin injection ground stabilisation in Hindley?

Guide prices for resin injection ground stabilisation in Hindley start from about £770 per metre of wall treated, including VAT, on North West rates. Your fixed written price follows photos or a survey and depends on the extent of the work and access.

Does the ground around Hindley cause cracking?

Greater Manchester is mostly glacial till over sandstone and mudstone, with the Lancashire coalfield beneath much of Wigan, Bolton, Salford and parts of the east. Historic mine workings, made ground and old mill sites are common. 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.
