Piled underpinning and new-build foundations for insurers and their loss adjusters, whatever the problem and however tight the access.

Subsidence, solved for good.

We’ve completed more than 500 schemes for major insurance companies, including Aviva, Zurich and AXA, covering both new-build foundations and piled underpinning.

Our experienced design team and large range of restricted-access piling rigs let us offer a site-specific, cost-effective piled solution, whatever the problem. That might be a house moving on shrinking clay, a wall cracking above a leaking drain or a rebuild after a claim.

  • Site-specific designOur engineers design the underpinning around the cause of movement and the building above it.
  • Restricted accessMini rigs that fit through gardens and passageways and work inside occupied homes.
  • Clear paperworkDesigns, pile logs and records for adjusters, building control and the policyholder.
Compact M&D mini piling rig ready for a restricted-access job
Projects large and small: whether a property is affected by subsidence, restricted access or poor soil, we can help.

On claims workWhat we plan for

Respectful of the home. Firm on the fix.

Insurance work usually means a family’s home and a building that’s already damaged. We plan for both.

01

Occupied properties

Quiet, compact rigs, tidy working and clear communication with the policyholder throughout.

Mini piling →
02

Fragile structures

Low-vibration methods and careful sequencing so the work doesn’t add to the damage.

Piled underpinning →
03

Proof it works

Where a design needs it, pile testing confirms the piles carry their load before the claim is closed.

Typical servicesFor insurance work

The right method for the site.

Every claim is different, so we recommend a solution once we’ve seen the site investigation and the building.
