If you’re planning an extension, garden room or structural landscaping, the foundation is where the job is won or lost. We deliver accurately set-out concrete bases and footings across CR0, including near Addiscombe tram stop and Ashburton Park. Every pour is sized to the build and ground conditions, with clean edges and correct levels for the next trade. You get a solid start that keeps walls, patios and structures true for years.
Addiscombe’s mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and 1930s semis often brings quirks—tight side access, shared boundaries and older drains. We’re used to working around existing services and protecting neighbouring structures, especially on plots running towards East Croydon and Shirley. Whether you need wall footings for a rear extension or a reinforced slab for a garden studio, we tailor the design and method. That’s why homeowners choose our concrete foundations Addiscombe area for dependable results.
We start with a site visit, levels and a clear scope, then excavate to the required depth and formation. Where needed, we include reinforcement, deep foundations and engineering input, and we coordinate inspections for Building Regs compliance. You’ll receive tidy working practices, clear communication and a finish that’s ready for brickwork, blockwork or timber frames. Our reputation is built on doing the unseen work properly—first time.
Ground conditions vary across the London Borough of Croydon, so we don’t assume one foundation suits every plot. In Addiscombe, access can be restricted by narrow drives and on-street parking near Leslie Park and Addiscombe Railway Park, so we plan deliveries, concrete pumps and spoil removal carefully. We also take extra care around older drainage runs typical of period streets. If inspections are required, we’ll help coordinate timings so your build stays moving.

Costs depend on foundation type, depth, access and the amount of excavation and spoil removal. As a guide, small pads for posts can start from a few hundred pounds, while strip foundations for a typical rear extension often fall in the £3,000–£8,000 range. Raft foundations are usually higher due to steel and concrete volumes, commonly £6,000–£15,000+. We’ll provide a detailed, itemised estimate after a site visit.
Most domestic foundation jobs take 2–7 working days from excavation to pour, with curing time before building continues. Pad foundations can sometimes be completed in a day, while strip foundations for an extension typically take several days including digging, setting out and inspections. Raft foundations can take 1–2 weeks depending on steelwork, shuttering and access. Weather, ground conditions and service diversions are the main factors that affect timescales.
Foundations themselves don’t usually require separate planning permission, but the structure they support might. Many home extensions and garden buildings can be permitted development, yet rules vary by size, height, proximity to boundaries and previous alterations. Building Regulations approval is commonly required because foundations affect structural safety. We can work with your designer and Building Control, arrange inspections where needed, and flag any likely constraints before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our concrete foundation workmanship, covering defects arising from installation, such as incorrect levels, poor compaction, or inadequate reinforcement where specified. It also covers issues linked to our setting out and concrete placement. The warranty doesn’t cover movement caused by factors outside our control (for example, leaking drains, tree root removal after the fact, or changes to loading). We’ll explain coverage clearly in writing before you proceed.
We install strip foundations, pad foundations, raft foundations and wall footings, with options for reinforced concrete using rebar or mesh. Depth can be standard or deep foundations where ground conditions or nearby trees demand it. We can also incorporate ground-bearing slabs, thickened edges and service sleeves for utilities. If you’re unsure what suits your project, we’ll assess loads, access and soil conditions and recommend the most practical, compliant solution.
