Subsidence can be worrying, particularly when cracks appear suddenly or doors and windows begin sticking. Our job is to establish what is happening, explain it in plain English and recommend the right repair rather than simply treating the most visible symptom.
Based in the Stratford-on-Avon area, we help homeowners and property owners across Warwickshire with subsidence repair, underpinning, subsidence surveys, foundation repair and structural crack repair. If you have noticed stepped cracking, uneven floors, gaps around openings or other signs of movement,
Subsidence was established by Daniel Mercer, a Stratford-on-Avon structural repair specialist who spent his early career working on older Warwickshire properties. After seeing homeowners struggle to understand whether cracks were cosmetic, structural or caused by changing ground conditions, Daniel built the business around careful investigation and clear explanations.
Today, Daniel works with senior surveyor Hannah Price and repair lead Tom Bennett. Hannah has a particular interest in older properties around Stratford and the Avon valley, while Tom brings hands-on experience repairing masonry and foundations. Together, the team takes a measured approach: understand the cause, explain the options and carry out appropriate remedial work.

We look beyond the crack itself and consider ground movement, drainage, vegetation, foundations and other possible causes before recommending major work.
Our team works throughout Stratford-on-Avon and surrounding Warwickshire communities, including properties of very different ages and construction types.
We explain what we find, what needs attention and which options are available without hiding the important details behind technical language.
Where structural work is required, our team can help take the project from investigation through to appropriate repair.
We do not treat every crack as a reason for underpinning. The repair should match the cause, extent and behaviour of the movement.
Common warning signs include diagonal or stepped cracks, cracks that widen over time, sticking doors and windows, sloping floors and gaps around extensions or openings. These symptoms can have other causes, so proper investigation is important.
No. Buildings naturally move and can develop cracks through settlement, thermal movement, moisture changes or defective finishes. A survey helps distinguish potentially significant structural movement from less serious cracking.
Not necessarily. Underpinning is one possible remedy when foundations need additional support, but the appropriate solution depends on the cause and extent of movement. We recommend understanding the problem before committing to major foundation work.
Yes. Where the underlying cause has been identified and the masonry is suitable for repair, structural cracks can often be repaired using an appropriate technique. The repair method depends on the type, location and behaviour of the crack.
Costs vary considerably because the cause and severity differ from property to property. A minor structural crack repair can be very different in cost from foundation stabilisation or underpinning, so we provide a more useful estimate after assessing the situation.
Yes. We serve Stratford-on-Avon and surrounding Warwickshire communities, including Bishopton, Shottery, Tiddington, Alveston, Bridgetown, Clopton and Old Town.
