If you’re planning an extension, garden room, retaining wall or structural landscaping, the foundation is where success starts. We deliver engineered concrete bases around Queensway and W2, designed to suit the loads and ground conditions on your plot. Whether you need strip foundations for masonry walls or a reinforced raft for a wider footprint, we build for accuracy and longevity. Our team coordinates with Building Control so your project moves forward without avoidable delays.
Bayswater’s property mix—stucco townhouses, mansion conversions and period flats—often comes with tight access, shared boundaries and sensitive structures. We’re used to working near basement levels, party walls and older brickwork where careful sequencing matters. For projects near Kensington Gardens or bordering Hyde Park, we plan deliveries and pours to minimise disruption. If your build sits within a mews or courtyard, we can adapt methods to reduce spoil, noise and mess.
We start with a site visit, levels check, and a practical recommendation on foundation type: strip, pad, raft, wall footings or deep foundations where required. Our process covers excavation, reinforcement, formwork, concrete placement and curing, with engineering input when loads or ground conditions demand it. You’ll receive clear scope, timetable and photo updates, plus documentation to support Building Regs sign-off. Homeowners choose us for reliable workmanship, clean handovers and foundations that perform for decades.
Ground conditions across the concrete foundations Bayswater area can vary, so we allow for trial holes and sensible contingencies. Bayswater streets can be busy, with restricted parking and timed deliveries near Whiteleys and Queensway; we plan pours and wagon access accordingly. Many homes are period buildings with shallow existing footings, so we take extra care around neighbouring structures and party walls. We also liaise with City of Westminster requirements and Building Control expectations from the outset.

Costs vary with depth, access, spoil removal and whether reinforcement or engineering is required. As a guide, small pad foundations may start from £900–£1,800, while strip foundations for an extension are commonly £3,500–£9,500. Raft foundations can range from £6,000–£18,000+. Tight W2 access, hand-digging, and skip permits can increase costs, so we survey before confirming a detailed quote.
Most domestic foundation works take 2–7 working days from setting out to pour, with curing time afterwards before heavy loading. A simple set of pads can be completed in 1–3 days, while larger strip foundations or a reinforced raft often take 4–10 days. Timescales depend on excavation depth, ground conditions, inspections, access for concrete wagons, and whether we’re working around existing services or party walls.
Foundations themselves are usually part of a wider project, and many garden structures or small extensions can be permitted development, but City of Westminster rules and conservation constraints can change what’s allowed. Regardless of planning, foundations nearly always require Building Regulations compliance and Building Control inspections. We can work with your designer/engineer, provide specs for submissions, and schedule inspections so the build stays compliant and properly signed off.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on our concrete foundation workmanship, covering defects arising from installation issues such as incorrect placement, inadequate reinforcement as specified, or poor compaction and finishing. It doesn’t cover structural movement caused by external factors outside our control (for example, major leaks, tree-related subsidence, or changes to loading after completion). We also keep records and photos to support any future queries.
We install strip foundations, pad foundations, raft foundations, wall footings and deep foundations where ground conditions require it. Options include reinforced concrete with rebar cages, thicker slabs for higher loads, and engineered solutions for tight sites or near existing structures. We’ll advise on depth, width and reinforcement based on your build, soil conditions and Building Regs requirements, and we can coordinate with a structural engineer when needed.
