Why Colchester Properties Are at Risk

Britain's oldest recorded town has a complex geology with varied ground conditions. Many properties are built on clay soils that are prone to seasonal movement.

A mix of boulder clay, London clay, and sand and gravel deposits creates varied conditions across different parts of Colchester.

Doors and windows that suddenly become difficult to open or close.

Rippling Wallpaper

Wallpaper wrinkling or creasing without dampness — a sign of wall movement.

Uneven Floors

Floors that slope or feel uneven underfoot, indicating foundation movement.
