How does it work?

Our experts drill holes in the affected area

At just 16mm they're typically the size of a 10p and often we don't need internal access.

1
We inject a special geopolymer material

In a quick and easy process the material will expand and harden underpinning the property.

2
The resin instantly hardens like concrete

Within just 15 minutes the resin has expanded to fill any voids and stabilise the ground.

3
The ground is strengthened and foundations stabilised

As the material expands, the force can lift the property. Often cracks disappear and doors open again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do the cracks on the walls disappear?

The soils beneath the foundation will be stabilised to prevent further movement (subsidence). In many cases, the expansion force of our geopolymer can also lift the structure and you could see cracks close and windows and doors will function properly.

Does it only take one day?

Generally, yes. But each project is different and the time depends on the stabilisation required, the scale of the area needing repair, and ground conditions. Most projects are fully completed within 1-2 days.

Do I need to move out?

No. We usually do our work outside the property, so you can carry on as normal. On occasion, we may need to enter the property to treat or monitor depending on the requirements.

How many projects have you completed?

Geobear (formerly Uretek) has completed over 200,000 projects worldwide over the last 40 years. We have completed more than 11 000 residential projects in the UK, Finland, Sweden and Poland. We have strengthened residential buildings, industrial facilities and infrastructure.

Will there be a mess?

Little, if any. Our geopolymer resin is injected through small holes drilled into the ground. It's a bit like "keyhole surgery," so there will be minimal excavation, disruption and mess. On the other hand, the work is unobtrusive and non-invasive enough that you can carry on with your normal home life while it's happening, without having to move.

Will I get a warranty?

YES, the work is covered by an insurance guarantee that you can transfer if you decide to sell the property.

Is it safe and environmentally friendly?

Our resin is inert and has no harmful effect on the environment.

Who will perform and be responsible for the work?

The work on your property will be conducted by our experienced technicians.

Is there any other certification I receive?

Yes, you will receive a certificate of structural adequacy (CSA).
