Get matched with a vetted structural/underpinning contractor

Compare like-for-like quotes for underpinning — same method, same scope, engineer-led — with no obligation, and you stay in control.

The short answer

Share a few details about your property and the movement you've noticed — the type of cracks, where they are, and whether you've had a structural engineer's report — and we'll match you with a vetted structural/underpinning contractor who works from an engineer's assessment, plans the right method, and quotes on a clear specification covering scope, depth, fees and monitoring. Matching is free, there's no obligation, and you decide whether to go ahead. If you suspect subsidence, contact your buildings insurer first as well.

The more a contractor knows up front, the more accurate the assessment and quote. Have the details below ready before you request matching — and notify your insurer if subsidence is suspected.

Have these ready

What happens after you ask to be matched

  1. We pass your details to a vetted structural/underpinning contractor who covers your area.
  2. They work from (or help arrange) a structural engineer's assessment, plan the right method, and provide a written quote on a clear specification.
  3. You compare on the same scope and decide — no pressure, no obligation.
Why vetted: we match you with contractors who have been checked, because underpinning is structural work that must be engineer-led, properly documented and certified — the basis of both a sound repair and your future insurance and sale.
