Land slip repairs

Land slips can be slow and complex to restore. Changes to the landscape above or beneath roads and footpaths pose a risk of sliding further at the next rainfall event, and may need cautious assessment and professionally designed solutions in order to make them safe.

Have you been affected by a slip?

  • If there is an immediate safety risk call 111.
  • If you can smell gas call 111.
  • If your property is affected, contact your insurance provider as soon as possible.
  • If a public road or footpath looks unstable and has a risk of moving, or you can safely determine that a slip is about to happen, please call us on 0800 920 029.
  • If you have no power, call your electricity provider.
  • If a dangerous hazard is posed by the electricity network (such as damaged poles or downed / clashing power lines) contact Northpower.
  • If your water pipe is broken- turn off the mains and contact us.
