Cracking was noted at the property in 2021 and was thought to be as a result of nearby trees and the clay sub soil. The owners carried out some surveys and in December 2021 instructed Mainmark Ground Engineering Limited to carry out so ground strengthening works with Teretek specialist grouting injections down to a depth of minus 2.5 metres. This work 'lifted' the rear extension and reduced the width of the cracking, stabilising the ground.

Crack monitoring was carried out over a period of 18 months, concluding in 2024 and found that the cracks within the area had closed slightly and a crack in the passageway store had shown a greater degree of movement. However, this movement was thought to be as a result of the trees to the rear and the side of the property.

The surveyor concluded that the results show that the areas treated by the grout ground strengthening were largely stable but some 'crack stitching' work should be carried out to repair the visible cracks. The engineer also advised that the nearby trees should be trimmed periodically.

In light of the engineer's findings, the vendors have carried out the crack stitching repair work and are in the process of arranging for the trees to be trimmed (October 2024).

Copies of the various structural reports are available from our Ely Office.
