A solid project starts below ground, and that’s where our team excels. We design and install concrete foundations suited to Bermondsey’s mix of tight access streets and riverside developments, including around London Bridge and Tower Bridge. Whether you’re planning an extension, garden room or structural landscaping, we deliver strip foundations, pad foundations, raft foundations and wall footings to spec. We’re set up to work efficiently around busy spots like Bermondsey Street and Maltby Street Market.
Bermondsey homes often combine converted warehouses, Victorian terraces and modern apartments, each with different structural demands. Victorian terraces may need deeper, reinforced footings due to neighbouring structures and party wall considerations. Warehouse conversions and newer blocks can involve complex load paths, services and restricted access for excavation. Our concrete foundations Bermondsey area service is tailored to these realities, with engineering input where required and a practical approach to logistics.
We start with a site visit, levels check and a clear scope for excavation, spoil removal and pour day. Where needed, we coordinate structural engineering, reinforcement schedules and Building Control inspections, keeping everything documented. You’ll get a written method statement, tidy site management and straightforward communication from start to finish. Homeowners choose us for concrete foundations in London Borough of Southwark because we build to last and we don’t cut corners.
In the London Borough of Southwark, ground conditions can vary street by street, especially near the river and older made ground. Access around SE1 and SE16 can be tight, with controlled parking and limited space for skips and deliveries. We plan concrete pours around access windows, protect neighbouring boundaries, and manage noise and dust responsibly. Our team adapts foundation depth, reinforcement and sequencing to suit Bermondsey’s property styles and constraints.

Costs vary by foundation type, depth, access and spoil removal. As a guide, small pad foundations may start from around £900–£1,800, while strip foundations for a modest extension often fall in the £3,000–£8,000 range. Raft foundations and reinforced or deep foundations can be £8,000–£20,000+ depending on engineering and concrete volume. We provide an itemised estimate after a site visit in SE1/SE16.
Most domestic foundation works take 2–7 working days from excavation to pour, with curing time afterwards before heavy loading. Simple pad foundations can be completed in 1–2 days, while strip or raft foundations typically take longer due to setting-out, reinforcement, inspections and concrete scheduling. Timescales are affected by access in Bermondsey, depth requirements, weather, underground services and whether Building Control needs staged sign-off.
Foundations themselves usually fall under Building Regulations rather than planning permission, but the overall project (extension, outbuilding or structural works) may need planning depending on size, location and constraints. In Southwark, you may also need to consider party wall matters, conservation areas and site access rules. We’ll help you understand what applies, liaise with your designer/engineer, and ensure Building Control inspections are booked at the right stages.
Yes. Our concrete foundation installations come with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship and installation defects, provided the foundations are used as designed and not altered without approval. We also keep records of reinforcement, concrete specifications and inspection stages to support compliance. If an issue is linked to our installation, we’ll investigate promptly and put it right. Manufacturer warranties may also apply to certain materials we supply.
We install strip foundations, pad foundations, raft slabs and wall footings, with options for reinforced concrete, deeper trench fills and engineered solutions where loads are higher. We can include steel reinforcement cages, mesh, starter bars and damp-proof detailing to suit the build. If ground conditions are uncertain, we’ll recommend trial holes and, where needed, structural engineer input. We’ll guide you to the most cost-effective compliant option for your Bermondsey property.
