Dorset's Specialist Subsidence Contractors
Weymouth Subsidence was founded with a clear mission: to provide Dorset homeowners with honest, expert guidance when their properties are affected by subsidence. Based at Granby Industrial Estate in Weymouth, we serve residential and commercial clients across the entire county — from the coastal towns of Bournemouth and Poole to the inland communities of Sherborne and Gillingham.
We are not a generalist building company. Subsidence is our sole focus, and that specialisation means we bring a depth of knowledge and experience that general contractors simply cannot match. We understand the specific geological challenges that Dorset's varied terrain presents, and we have developed relationships with the best specialist contractors in the region to ensure every project receives the expertise it demands.
Our role is to guide homeowners through the entire subsidence journey — from the first signs of a problem through to completed, guaranteed repairs. We introduce you to the right specialist contractors, coordinate the investigation and repair process, and ensure your insurer is kept informed throughout. Think of us as your expert advocate, working on your side to achieve the best possible outcome for your property.
Our Values
Everything we do is guided by three core values that define how we work with our clients, our contractor partners, and each other. These are not just words on a page — they inform every decision we make and every recommendation we provide.
Integrity
We provide honest assessments and transparent pricing. We only recommend work that is genuinely needed and we never exaggerate the severity of a problem to generate unnecessary fees. Our reputation depends on trust, and we protect it fiercely. When we tell you something needs fixing, it needs fixing. And when we tell you something does not need fixing, you can trust that assessment too.
Expertise
We have deep knowledge of Dorset's geology and decades of structural repair experience within our network. We invest continuously in staying current with the latest repair techniques, materials, and industry best practices. Our team regularly attends training courses and industry events to ensure we remain at the forefront of subsidence repair technology.
Care
We treat every property as if it were our own, with genuine concern for our clients' wellbeing. We understand that subsidence is not just a technical problem — it is a source of real anxiety for homeowners and their families. That is why we communicate clearly, respond promptly, and go the extra mile to minimise stress and disruption throughout the repair process.
Our Approach
What makes us different from other subsidence repair services in Dorset is our diagnostic-first approach. We never recommend repairs without first understanding the cause. Too many homeowners have paid for cosmetic crack repairs — only to see the damage return months later because the underlying subsidence was never addressed. We break that cycle by insisting on proper investigation before any repair work begins.
Our process starts with a thorough assessment of your property, followed by targeted investigations to confirm the cause of movement. Only when we have a clear diagnosis do we recommend a repair strategy — and we always present multiple options where they exist, explaining the costs, benefits, and timescales of each approach so you can make an informed decision.
We also take a collaborative approach to insurance claims. Subsidence claims can be complex and time-consuming, involving multiple parties and extensive documentation. We have established working relationships with all the major insurers operating in Dorset, and we understand what they need at each stage of the process. By providing comprehensive reports and evidence from the outset, we help ensure claims are processed efficiently and repairs are approved without unnecessary delays.
Finally, we believe in aftercare. A subsidence repair is not just about fixing today's problem — it is about protecting your property for the future. We provide post-repair monitoring for complex projects, detailed maintenance recommendations, and comprehensive guarantees that give you genuine long-term peace of mind. Our documentation is accepted by mortgage lenders, solicitors, and future buyers, ensuring that professional subsidence repair adds value rather than creating concern.

We explain complex structural issues in plain language, so you always understand what is happening and why. No jargon, no confusion — just clear, honest information.
No Pressure
We never use high-pressure sales tactics. We present the facts, explain your options, and let you make the decision in your own time. Our job is to inform, not to sell.
