Subsidence Claims in Sheffield

Subsidence and ground movement claims involve extended repair timelines. When properties require underpinning, residents may need accommodation for months.

Sheffield's position in the Don Valley means parts of the city are susceptible to flooding, as demonstrated in past flood events. The city's diverse housing stock requires flexible accommodation solutions.

Temporary Accommodation During Subsidence Claims

Subsidence claims are among the longest-running insurance claims. Properties showing ground movement must be monitored before remedial works such as underpinning can begin. Loss adjusters need cost-effective extended accommodation that keeps policyholders comfortable.

Key Challenges

Monitoring periods alone can take 12+ months. Underpinning and restoration add further months. Accommodation needs to be cost-effective for extended durations while remaining suitable for families.

Typical duration: 6 months to 2+ years including monitoring
