  • Has anyone here had to have their place underpinned?

    Our bay window has developed worrying cracks, both inside and outside.

    My guess is that there is settling going on, but I've no idea if it's because of getting wet or getting dry.

    Is it a structural engineer that I need, or a surveyor? And if underpinning is required, how much of a disruption is it?

    The silver lining is that we have very disruptive plans for the room anyway (stripping plaster, lifting floors etc...) but not for a year or so.

  • If no obvious tree/building related cause, there are neighbours here who reckon their houses crack and then close again with hot dry weather. They say if it isn't getting worse year on year not to worry about it... I'd still get an engineer in to have a look.
