About This Service

Mining Subsidence Consultants is a lead generation service. We introduce property owners experiencing subsidence or structural issues to relevant specialist contractors in Cornwall. We do not carry out construction, engineering, or repair work directly. Our role is to assess your situation, provide initial guidance, and connect you with appropriate professionals who can deliver the services you need.

By using this website and submitting enquiries through our contact form, you acknowledge and accept this arrangement. Any contract for actual works will be between you and the specialist contractor directly. We facilitate the introduction but are not a party to any subsequent agreement for construction or repair services.

No Accreditation Claims

This website does not claim any trade accreditation, professional membership, or certification on behalf of Mining Subsidence Consultants. We do not hold or claim to hold any construction qualifications, engineering certifications, or professional body memberships. All construction and engineering work is carried out by independent specialist contractors who hold their own relevant qualifications, insurance, and accreditations. We recommend that you verify the qualifications and insurance of any contractor before entering into a contract for works.

Website Content

The information on this website is provided for general guidance and educational purposes only. It does not constitute professional engineering, surveying, structural, or legal advice. While we make every effort to ensure the information is accurate and up to date, the content should not be used as a substitute for professional assessment of your specific situation.

Subsidence is a complex issue and every property is different. The causes, severity, and appropriate treatment for subsidence depend on many factors including ground conditions, building construction, drainage, vegetation, and climate. Always seek a professional site-specific assessment before making decisions about investigation or repairs to your property.

Limitation of Liability

While we take reasonable care to ensure the information on this website is accurate and up to date, we cannot guarantee its completeness, accuracy, or suitability for any particular purpose. We accept no liability for any loss or damage — whether direct, indirect, consequential, or otherwise — arising from the use of this website, reliance on its content, or any introduction made through our service.

In particular, we accept no liability for the quality, timeliness, cost, or outcome of any work carried out by third-party contractors, even where those contractors were introduced through our service. Our liability in all circumstances is limited to the fees (if any) paid to us directly.

Third-Party Contractors

Any contract for investigation, repair, or other works will be between you and the specialist contractor directly. We are not a party to that contract and accept no liability for any aspect of the work including but not limited to: the quality of workmanship, the suitability of materials, compliance with building regulations, adherence to timescales, the accuracy of quotations, or the validity of guarantees.

We recommend that you obtain written quotations, verify insurance and qualifications, and agree clear terms before commissioning any work. You should also ensure that any work requiring Building Regulations approval receives the necessary sign-off from your local authority.
