On Help My House Is Falling Down Why Didn't I Get A Survey And Does
This Crack Really Matter tonight, Ms Beeny demonstrated, well not
personally, some mega expanding foam that you pump under a house
instead of underpinning it. Sets concrete hard very quickly.

There are some photos on the house's own site athttp://carrickhousefareham.co.uk/uretek-ground-stabilisation.html

And my suspicion that it was a rather downmarket B&B before (from all
the fire detectors and the drains blocked with Full English fat) was
confirmed.

Temporary fix ? This stuff is organic so will degenerate over time.
When they experimentally glued large concrete tiles on the outside of
tower blocks in the 60's (Univ of Warwick) they started falling off in
20 years as the epoxy decayed and weakened and this became a big
safety issue for pedestrians for many yards around.

uretek blurb says "minimum design life in excess of 100 years –
although the basic integrity of the material could last up to 1000
years"

we all know it degrades in light - maybe that's what got Warwick??

missed the prog (as usually sh1te) did Beeny mention how much it cost
to do ? (and how much did they do?)
