What is the cost of underpinning a house?
This is impossible to quantify, as each case is different. In some cases, the initial survey will establish that the damage is NOT subsidence. Many factors will determine the cost – for instance, the size of the property, the age of the property, the level of damage, etc.
In most cases, the cost for subsidence works will be covered by home insurance, if adequate insurance is in place.
