Is Hampshire prone to ground movement?

Basingstoke is in Hampshire and takes in postcode districts RG21, RG22, RG23, RG24. About 110,000 people live there. Nearby places we cover include Tadley (6 miles), Alton (9 miles) and Fleet (11 miles).

Much of Hampshire sits on clay that shrinks in dry summers and swells in wet winters. Ground movement here is more often linked to soils, drains and trees than to mining. Typical buildings in Hampshire: Victorian terraces in Portsmouth and Southampton, 1930s semis, and large post-war and new-build estates.

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.
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.

Repair options we may recommend

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

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

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 Basingstoke?

Guide prices for resin injection ground stabilisation in Basingstoke start from about £895 per metre of wall treated, including VAT, on South East 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 Basingstoke?

Yes, Basingstoke is covered, along with postcode districts RG21, RG22, RG23, RG24. We also cover nearby Tadley and Alton.

Does the ground around Basingstoke cause cracking?

Central Hampshire is chalk, while the south around Portsmouth, Southampton and the New Forest fringe and the north-east around Farnborough sit on London Clay, Reading Beds and other clays and sands. The clay areas see seasonal movement near trees. Only an investigation can say why a particular building has moved.

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.

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.
