Halifax Home Insurance’s Senior Manager of Structural Claims, Neil Curling, is available for interview on the issue of subsidence.  During the spring months, homeowners who may be at risk of subsidence in the summer can take measures to reduce the risk of their house suffering from this problem.  In extreme cases, subsidence can cause major structural damage to homes, but paying special attention to the trees and vegetation around a property can go a long way towards reducing the risk of a subsidence problem.

Neil Curling heads up a team of 30 structural engineers and surveyors who handle all Halifax Home Insurance’s subsidence claims.  Neil has a wealth of knowledge and advice for homeowners on the issue of subsidence, from the various causes of subsidence affecting different areas of the UK, to how to avoid a problem and how to get help if you think your home may be at risk.
