— Welcome to Edinburgh Subsidence
Build on solid
ground again
Edinburgh's specialist subsidence, underpinning and structural repair contractor. Engineer-led diagnosis, insurance-friendly reports, tidy work in occupied homes.
The challenge
Subsidence does not announce itself
It starts as a hairline crack above a window. A door that no longer shuts. A skirting board pulling away from the wall. Most homeowners hope it will settle. Most do not.
Insurers want evidence. Surveyors want a chartered engineer's letter. Buyers want certainty. Patching the plaster will not give you any of those things.
The solution
Diagnose first, then design
We start with a site visit, a CCTV check on the drains and a few weeks of crack monitoring if needed. Only then do we design a fix. The result is one set of works, sized correctly, signed off properly.
From mass-concrete underpinning to mini-piles, helical stitching to no-dig drain lining, every option is on the table and the right one wins.

What clients say
Owners across the city, talking about real jobs
A long crack opened above our bay window after last summer. The team had a chartered engineer on site within a week, found the cause in the drains and underpinned the corner. Insurance accepted the report without question.
Fiona M.
Morningside · Subsidence & Underpinning
Survey done in the morning, written report the next day, defects coded so our insurer could action it. No upselling, no jargon.
Ali K.
Leith · Drainage CCTV Surveys
Wall above our front door had been cracked for years. Stitched in two days, repointed to match. Six months on you cannot see it.
Cameron R.
Stockbridge · Crack Stitching
We needed remedial piling under a bay that had dropped. Tight access through the side passage and they still managed it. Tidy crew, clear paperwork.
Helen P.
Corstorphine · Foundation Piling
Lined a collapsed run under our kitchen floor without lifting a single tile. Back in service the same afternoon.
Jamie D.
Newington · Sewer Pipe Relining
We needed a report quickly to keep our sale moving. Engineer attended within four days and the lender accepted the letter straight away.
