Subsidence Repair
Specialists in Cornwall
Is your property showing signs of subsidence? Cracking walls, sticking doors, and sinking foundations don't have to mean disaster.
Our Services
Comprehensive subsidence repair and ground stabilisation solutions for every situation.

Underpinning
Traditional and modern underpinning solutions to stabilise foundations affected by subsidence, settlement, or inadequate original construction.
Helical Piling

Who We Are
Trusted Subsidence Contractors Since 2009
Mining Subsidence Consultants was established to address the growing need for specialist subsidence expertise in Cornwall. With the county's rich mining heritage, complex geology, and unique building traditions, property owners need contractors who truly understand local challenges.
Based at Bojea Industrial Estate in St Austell — at the heart of Cornwall's china clay country — we're ideally positioned to serve clients across the entire county.
The Problem
Cornwall's mining heritage, clay-rich soils, and coastal geology make it one of the UK's highest-risk areas for subsidence. Thousands of properties sit above abandoned mine workings, on shrinkable clay, or in areas where drainage issues soften the ground beneath foundations. Left untreated, subsidence worsens — and repair costs escalate.
The Solution
Modern subsidence treatments — from resin injection to helical piling — can stabilise your property quickly and cost-effectively. Our team combines local expertise with proven engineering techniques to address the cause of movement, repair the damage, and give you lasting peace of mind.
Testimonials
What Our Clients Say
"We were devastated when cracks appeared throughout our Victorian terrace. The team assessed the situation quickly, explained everything clearly, and completed the resin injection in just one day. Six months on, not a single new crack."

"Living in a former mining area, we always worried about subsidence. When it finally happened, the whole process from insurance claim through to completed repairs was managed professionally and kept us informed at every stage."
David & Janet P.
