Ground conditions around Bexhill-on-Sea
Many homes here were built in the mid twentieth century and are held by people aged sixty five and over. A movement survey for a Bexhill home takes that history into account. The specialist firm reads the local geology to understand why your walls are behaving as they are.
- Marine clay subgrade
- Clay beneath the seafront shrinks in dry weather and swells when wet, causing seasonal movement in foundations.
- Edwardian terraces near the coast
- Older houses on this clay often show differential settlement that requires mass concrete underpinning to stabilise.
