Islington and Highbury are known for their Georgian and Victorian terraces, garden squares and large conservation areas. Most of these houses sit on shallow foundations on London Clay, and many have been altered over the years, with chimney breasts removed, rooms knocked through and lofts converted. Combined with mature street trees and ageing drains, that makes cracking and movement a common concern.

Common reasons clients in Islington & Highbury call us
• Cracking in Georgian and Victorian terraces
• Movement linked to clay soils and nearby trees
• Checks on removed chimney breasts and knocked-through rooms
• Sagging floors and roofs in older properties
• 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. Our office is at 45 Fitzroy Street, W1, so we can usually visit quickly.
