Subsidence Repair Leeds
Structural engineer brought in, cause addressed, repair carried out — one accountable team throughout.

Subsidence is one of the most stressful things a homeowner can deal with, partly because it's genuinely serious and partly because it gets used as a catch-all term for any crack, which causes needless worry. Confirmed subsidence — ground movement that's actually affecting the foundation — needs a structural engineer's investigation and design before any repair work starts; that's not optional and we won't pretend otherwise. CLM Projects manages subsidence repair projects across Leeds end to end: we bring in a structural engineer to investigate the cause and design the fix, whether that's underpinning, root removal from a nearby tree, or addressing a leaking drain that's washed out the ground beneath the foundation, and we carry out the building work to the engineer's specification. You deal with one accountable contractor throughout the project rather than juggling an engineer, a builder and whoever else gets involved separately. Fully insured, Leeds-based, built on trust and built to last. If you're dealing with a crack you're worried about, send us photos and we'll give you an honest first read.

FAQs
Subsidence Repair — Your Questions
Is every crack in my wall subsidence?
No — most aren't. Seasonal ground movement, a failed lintel, thermal expansion or a leaking drain all cause cracking that looks similar to subsidence but has a completely different fix. We give you an honest first read before anyone assumes the worst.
Do you carry out the structural engineering yourself?
No, and we won't claim to. Confirmed subsidence needs a structural engineer's investigation and calculations before any repair starts. We bring the right engineer in, manage their input as part of the project, and carry out the building work to their specification — so you get one accountable contractor rather than three separate parties to coordinate yourself.
What actually causes subsidence in Leeds?
Common causes include clay soil shrinking in dry weather (worse near large trees, which draw moisture from the ground), tree roots directly affecting foundations, and leaking drains washing out the ground beneath a foundation. The engineer's investigation identifies the actual cause, because the repair depends entirely on it.
Is subsidence repair covered by insurance?
Often, yes — most buildings insurance covers subsidence, though there's usually an excess and the claim can take time to process, particularly if monitoring is needed to confirm movement has stopped before repair. We can provide photos and reports to support a claim; the claim itself is between you and your insurer.
How long does a subsidence repair take?
It varies enormously depending on the cause and whether underpinning is needed. Some cases need a period of monitoring before an engineer will confirm movement has stopped, which extends the timeline before repair work can even start. We'll give you a realistic picture once the engineer's investigation is complete.
