What to know in Norwich
If you own a property in Norwich and the porch has begun to move, the first step is porch subsidence repair assessed properly rather than patched. Note where cracks have opened, whether a door catches, and how long you have seen the change. A local specialist will want that account before visiting. Say too whether the join with the main wall has shifted. Crack monitoring is often the starting point, with crack stitching later if the masonry needs tying.

Subsidence Repair Cost in Norwich: your questions answered
Start with the overview: All our services
How do I know whether the porch movement is serious?
A door that no longer closes cleanly, or a crack that has widened since you first noticed it, are the things to describe. A local specialist can compare the join with the main wall and say whether the porch is settling or the main house is. Crack monitoring over a period shows whether the movement is still going on.
Will the porch need underpinning?
Not always. Where the masonry has cracked but the base has not moved, crack stitching may be enough. Whether underpinning is needed depends on the base, and a local specialist should inspect that and the join with the main wall before deciding.
Do you cover the whole of Norwich?
Yes. Specialists cover Norwich 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 Norwich 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.
