Resin injection ground stabilisation in Clydach
Homeowners in Clydach often hear of resin injection as a quicker alternative to underpinning. It can be, provided the problem lies in the upper layers of soil and the drains have been checked, because resin stabilises ground but cannot stop an active leak.

How we usually approach resin injection ground stabilisation
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
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 happens during resin injection ground stabilisation, step by step?
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.
What to look for before calling about resin injection ground stabilisation
- Gaps opening beneath a ground-floor slab or path
- A corner that has dropped but no longer moves with the seasons
- Sinking that trial pits trace to loose or washed-out soil
Rules for resin injection ground stabilisation in Wales
In Wales, the Welsh version of the Building Regulations applies. Underpinning and other work that alters or strengthens the structure needs building control approval and inspection; like-for-like repairs often do not. The Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies to work on party walls and excavation close to a neighbour’s foundations.
Questions about resin injection ground stabilisation in Clydach
How much will resin injection ground stabilisation cost in Clydach?
Guide prices for resin injection ground stabilisation in Clydach start from about £735 per metre of wall treated, including VAT, on Wales rates. Your fixed written price follows photos or a survey and depends on the extent of the work and access.
Do you cover Clydach?
Yes, Clydach is covered, along with postcode districts SA6, SA7. We also cover nearby Neath and Swansea.
Is the ground in West Glamorgan prone to subsidence?
Swansea and Neath Port Talbot lie on the South Wales coalfield, with historic workings, tips and steep valley sides, and softer estuarine ground around the docks. 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.
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.
