This part of Surrey has a mix of Edwardian and interwar detached and semi-detached houses, riverside properties along the Thames and Mole, and newer homes on infill plots. Much of the area is on London Clay or river gravels, and large gardens with mature trees are common, so seasonal ground movement is a recurring theme. Many houses have been extended to the side and rear, opened up with steel frames, or had their lofts converted. We regularly work in KT7, KT8, KT10 and KT13.

Common reasons clients in Esher & Thames Ditton call us
• Subsidence linked to mature trees and clay soils
• Cracking where extensions meet the original house
• Checks on removed walls, steel frames and loft conversions
• Movement in riverside properties on softer ground
• Pre-purchase checks after a RICS survey flags a concern

Because we also design drainage, we can identify when a leaking drain is behind the movement and design the fix.
