What should you know about the ground under Clevedon?

Clevedon, Somerset: about 21,000 residents across postcode districts BS21. Nearby, we also cover Nailsea (4 miles), Portishead (5 miles) and Weston-super-Mare (8 miles).

Clay soils are found in parts of Somerset. Parts of Somerset lie on a former coalfield, so a coal mining search is worth checking if movement has no obvious cause. Across Somerset, most homes are Bath stone Georgian terraces, Victorian houses in Taunton and Weston-super-Mare, and post-war estates.

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

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

What to expect when we carry out resin injection ground stabilisation

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.

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 Clevedon cause cracking?

Somerset mixes Lias clays, Mercia Mudstone, limestone hills and the peat and alluvium of the Levels around Bridgwater, which can settle. The former Somerset coalfield around Radstock and Midsomer Norton left recorded workings. Only an investigation can say why a particular building has moved.

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.

How long does resin injection last?

The cured resin itself is stable and does not break down in normal ground. Whether the repair lasts depends on whether the cause of movement has been removed, which is why drains are checked and monitoring follows. If the ground was the only problem, the treatment is usually long-term.
