River terrace gravels overlay Thanet Sand close to the river, while the higher ground around Blackheath gives way to denser clay. Georgian and Victorian terraces around Royal Hill and Maze Hill often have lime-mortared brick footings less than 600mm deep.

Working with Greenwich insurers and surveyors

Most Greenwich subsidence projects involve a buildings insurer at some point. The specialists in our network are used to dealing with the major insurers operating in south east London and produce reports in the formats those claims teams expect. Whether the claim is fresh or whether the insurer has already appointed a loss adjuster, the specialist can pick up the work and slot into the existing process.

On private projects (where the homeowner is paying directly rather than going through insurance) the specialist will quote against an itemised scope and walk through the alternatives before any work is agreed. There is no pressure to commit on the day of the survey.

Recent feedback from Greenwich homeowners

"Our Victorian terrace had moved for years. The repair held the wall, replastered the worst rooms and helped with the insurance paperwork."
