Land and geospatial surveying
Subsidence Monitoring
Crack and movement monitoring that tells you whether a building is still moving. We track it accurately over time, so you know if the problem is active or historic before you spend on repairs.
The survey
Is It Still Moving?
A crack in a wall on its own tells you very little. What matters is whether it is still moving. Subsidence monitoring answers that by measuring movement precisely over a period of time.
We install monitoring points and take accurate readings at set intervals, so any movement shows up clearly in the data. That tells you whether you are dealing with active subsidence that needs underpinning or old, stable cracking that just needs making good. It saves you from expensive work you may not need.
How we monitor
How We Track Movement
Accurate readings over time, turned into data you can act on.
- Tell-tale crack monitors

- Internal and external cracking
- Movement trends and comparisons
- Clear data you can act on
When and reporting
Monitor Before You Underpin
Underpinning is expensive. Before anyone commits to it, you want to know the movement is real and ongoing. Monitoring gives you that certainty.
We monitor over a period that suits the situation, usually several months, then report the trend clearly. You get the data, the interpretation and a straight answer on whether the building is moving. That is what insurers, engineers and owners need to make the right call on repairs.
