Area notes
Cardiff: the local picture
A porch in Cardiff that has moved away from the house, or has cracks that keep opening, needs a clear description before porch subsidence repair is planned. Note where the cracks are, how wide they look and whether any door catches. Mention any past repair and any change you have seen over time. A local specialist can use that detail to decide whether crack monitoring is needed before work starts. The page covers Cardiff and the surrounding area.

Start with the overview: All our services
How can I tell whether the porch has moved or the house has settled?
Look at the joint between the porch and the main wall. A gap that widens, or a door that catches, is worth describing to a local specialist. Crack monitoring can show whether the movement is still active.
Do I need underpinning before any porch subsidence repair can start?
Not every porch needs underpinning. A local specialist should inspect the cause and set out the repair options for the movement found. Ask what work is proposed and why it is needed before you agree.
Do you cover the whole of Cardiff?
Yes. Specialists cover Cardiff in full, including the surrounding area, and extend to other locations across the United Kingdom. Regardless of where your property is, a specialist can attend.
How quickly can you help?
Fill in the form with your address and a description of what you have found. A specialist will contact you directly with initial advice about your Cardiff property.
Will I need underpinning?
Frequently not. Drainage work, tree management or a monitoring programme is sufficient to deal with a considerable number of cases in this area. A specialist recommends underpinning only when the site investigation makes a clear case for it.
