Subsidence Repair For Commercial Buildings in Sheffield
We provides a variety of subsidence and structural repairs for commercial buildings in Sheffield.
Subsidence can cause huge problems to the operation of commercial buildings such as shopping centres and
offices. It is imperative that work is done as quickly as possible to correct subsidence, this will minimise
costs and potential loss of revenue to the owner or occupier. The team of experts at Resin Injection Technology are on hand to
provide the most efficient, non-invasive subsidence repair for all types of commercial properties in
Sheffield.
Resin Injection Technology specialise in the re-levelling of commercial buildings in Sheffield and we are able to raise and
re-support
buildings of any size and age. Our resin injection method is efficient and non-invasive. There is no need for
any excavation, and work is completed in a fraction of the time of traditional re-levelling methods.
Signs of Subsidence
Many commercial properties in Sheffield are in need of structural reinforcement due to their age. Wear and
tear
due to weather and other environmental factors take its tole on the foundations of buildings in Sheffield,
and it
is imperative that these issues are resolved quickly.
Cracked walls are the most common sign of subsidence. These cracks will usually appear in the walls or on the
floors of the building and in most cases they form diagonally. Cracks may appear inside, showing across
plaster work, or they may form outside the building in brickwork. Sinking floors are easier to spot and are
also a sign of subsidence. Look out for uneven floors or the formation of gaps across the skirting boards.
Some other common signs of subsidence include:
• Structural damage
• Gaps between doors and windows
• The structure of the building starts to lean
• Water damage from faulty drains
• Water in the sink flows in the opposite direction
Fast action is imperative if subsidence is suspected, as the faster that work can be carried out, the less
likely it is to incur significant costs and damage later on.
Impact of Subsidence
The most obvious impact of subsidence on a commercial building is damage to property. This damage can incur
massive costs if not resolved quickly. For business owners in Sheffield, this can have a hugely negative
impact
on revenue. Other implications include the shutting down of operations whilst work is carried out and damage
is repaired. This will impact the revenue of the affected building, and therefore it is important that work is
carried out in a fast and efficient way. The risk to health and safety posed by subsidence is also of great
concern, as this can lead to injuries and have financial implications due to insurance claims.
Insurance companies will usually cover for subsidence, however it is the responsibility of the owner of the
property to check specific terms and conditions of individual policies, as the costs of insurance claims for
subsidence may be high.
How Can We Help?
Resin Injection Technology specialise in re-levelling and subsidence repair. Using our non-invasive solution, we can repair
commercial buildings in Sheffield with little to no disruption. For Sheffield-based businesses, it is
imperative
that disruption to every-day operations is kept to a minimum, that is why the team of experts at Resin Injection Technology
prioritise safety and convenience. The work carried out on properties is done in a manner that does not
require excavation, heavy machinery or for the occupants to leave the property. Normal service can continue as
normal, this makes Resin Injection Technology the most efficient and cost effective solution for subsidence repair in Sheffield.
Our resin injection method does not require any excavation, therefore the property and its occupants can
operate as usual with no need to vacate. Our use of resin injection replaces the need for costly and
disruptive excavation. Instead, our team of experts use precise surveying technology, as well as precision
drilling, to create small holes in the ground slabs. These holes are then filled with our expanding resin
compound, and the building is lifted back to its original place. Any gaps and cracks in the walls that have
been caused by subsidence will close and the building will return to its original, safe level.
Infrastructure Subsidence Repair in Sheffield
Roads, railways and bridges in Sheffield are often affected by subsidence. As is the case with commercial
properties in Sheffield, infrastructure often falls victim to the same weather and environmental factors. The
high population in Sheffield also puts strain on ageing infrastructure; busy rail networks, roads and
buildings
in Sheffield often need work doing to repair subsidence. Thankfully, the team of experienced engineers at Resin Injection Technology
are
able to carry out subsidence repair work on all types of infrastructure in Sheffield and across the UK.
When subsidence occurs in infrastructure it poses a huge risk to the health and safety of employees and the
general public. The high population of Sheffield means that it is extremely important that subsidence repair
work
is carried out quickly. Resin Injection Technology offers a fast and efficient solution to subsidence issues for infrastructure in
Sheffield that is in need of repair or upgrade due to age.
By using Resin Injection Technology for subsidence prevention, businesses and local councils in Sheffield can prevent the
potentially
huge financial implications associated with damage caused by subsidence. Work carried out by Resin Injection Technology is done to
the highest standard by a team of experts, and operations in the affected area can continue as normal whilst
work is carried out. This makes Resin Injection Technology the best solution for Infrastructure Subsidence Repair in Sheffield.
Signs of Subsidence
The most common sign of subsidence in infrastructure is the a tilting or uneven base. Other common signs of
subsidence in infrastructure are:
• Unexpected movement or damage
• Unstable road slabs or rails
• Structure leaning in one direction
• Water damage impacting the ground beneath the structure
Fast action should be taken if subsidence is suspected. Structural re-levelling and improvement can save
infrastructure from severe damage.
The team at Resin Injection Technology specialises in fast and efficient ground stabilisation, that causes minimal environmental
disruption with no need for excavation.

Subsidence Repairs for Warehouse and Factories in Sheffield
Many of the warehouses and factories across Sheffield are at risk of having structural issues. This can be
due to
a variety of environmental factors, however, warehouses and factories which rely on heavy machinery often find
that years of ground vibration has impacted the foundations of the building and resulted in subsidence. The
most common signs of subsidence in warehouses and manufacturing complexes in Sheffield are un-level concrete
floors, driveways and hardstand areas. Subsidence occurs when the original foundations of a building are no
longer suitable for the ground that it has been built on.
It is important that work is done quickly to minimise the impact of subsidence on warehouses and manufacturing
complexes, as the damages and shut down time on-site can have huge financial implications.
Resin Injection Technology specialise in providing a fast and efficient solution to ground re-levelling and subsidence repair. Using
our non-invasive method, we are able to lift and re-level the floor without any impact on day-to-day
operations.
Signs of Subsidence
Sinking floors or uneven concrete slabs are the most common sign of factory or warehouse subsidence. Sloping
floors are easy to spot as they will look unbalanced and tilted.
Cracked walls are a common sign of subsidence. These cracks will usually appear in the walls or on the floors
of the building and in most cases they form diagonally. Cracks may appear inside, showing across plaster work,
or they may form outside the building in brickwork. Sinking floors are easier to spot and are also a sign of
subsidence. Look out for uneven floors or the formation of gaps across the skirting.
Some other common signs of subsidence include:
• Structural damage
• Gaps between doors and windows
• The structure of the building starts to lean
• Water damage from faulty drains
• Water in the sink flows in the opposite direction
Fast action is imperative if subsidence is suspected, as the faster that work can be carried out, the less
likely it is to incur significant costs and damage later on.
Impact Of Subsidence On The Workforce
Sloping floors have a hugely negative impact on the ability for forklifts and other stacking devices. This can
often result in a shut down of operations and disruption to other services.
Sinking warehouse floors also pose a risk to the health and safety of the workforce, therefore it is important
that action is taken to repair this quickly.
Insurance companies will usually cover for subsidence and damage such as sinking floors, however it is the
responsibility of the owner of the property to check specific terms and conditions of individual policies, as
the costs of insurance claims for subsidence may be high.
