Cardiff

Cardiff foundation enquiries often involve South Wales soils and older brick / stone footings, with issues such as subsidence on clay, tree-root moisture change, cellar walls and underpinning.

Housing and foundation context

In Cardiff, South Wales soils and older brick / stone footings means movement can show up as cracks, sticking doors, uneven floors or bowing basement walls — especially where drainage or moisture around the foundation has changed.

Common foundation types in the area include strip foundations, Victorian brick, raft and piled solutions. Our crews assess soil conditions, drainage and structural movement.

Guidance and next steps

Follow building-department and geological-survey guidance where published. Photograph cracks and sticking openings, note when movement started and keep drainage clear of the foundation.

We help you request an on-site foundation assessment.
