Resin injection ground stabilisation in Hythe
Resin injection can suit some Hythe homes well and others not at all. The deciding factors are the soil below the footing, how deep firm ground lies and whether the cause of movement, such as a leaking drain, has already been dealt with.

What is the ground like in Hampshire?
Hythe, Hampshire: about 21,000 residents across postcode districts SO45. Nearby, we also cover Southampton (3 miles), Totton (6 miles) and Hedge End (6 miles).
Hampshire 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. What you mostly find across Hampshire: Victorian terraces in Portsmouth and Southampton, 1930s semis, and large post-war and new-build estates.

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
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
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.
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.
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
How much will resin injection ground stabilisation cost in Hythe?
Guide prices for resin injection ground stabilisation in Hythe 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 cover Hythe?
We do. Hythe and the surrounding area are covered, including nearby Southampton and Totton. A free initial assessment from your photos is the first step.
Is the ground in Hampshire prone to subsidence?
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.
Is the resin harmful to the ground or drains?
Once cured, the resin is inert in the ground. The practical risk is resin travelling into a damaged drain or service duct, which is why a CCTV drain survey comes first and any defects are repaired before injection. Services near the treated zone are located and protected.
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.
