Subsidence in Manchester

Subsidence, heave and ground movement can affect a property's structural integrity, requiring residents to relocate during investigation and underpinning works.

Greater Manchester's diverse housing stock, from Victorian terraces to modern apartment blocks, means a wide range of incidents require temporary accommodation. The region has also seen significant investment in high-rise residential buildings in recent years.

Temporary Accommodation After Subsidence

Subsidence claims involve a lengthy investigation and repair process. Properties showing signs of ground movement must be monitored over time before remedial works such as underpinning can begin. During the investigation and repair phases, residents may need to relocate for safety reasons or to allow works to proceed.

Key Challenges

Subsidence claims are typically among the longest-running insurance claims. The monitoring period alone can take 12 months or more. Residents may need accommodation for extended periods, requiring longer-term housing solutions.

Typical displacement period: 6 months to 2+ years (including monitoring period)

The Typical Process

Signs of subsidence identified (cracking, movement)

Structural engineer investigates cause and extent

Monitoring period to assess ongoing movement

Remedial works designed (underpinning, stabilisation)

Residents relocated to temporary accommodation during works

Property restored and residents return home
