Concrete Foundations in Camberwell built for long-term stability and Building Regs compliance. From strip and pad foundations to reinforced rafts, we deliver clean, engineered groundwork for SE5 projects.
Response within 24 hours
If you’re planning an extension, garden room or structural landscaping, the groundwork matters as much as the build. We design and install foundations to suit Camberwell’s mix of tight access plots and period homes. Working near Camberwell Green and Denmark Hill station, we keep excavations tidy, safe and well managed. Every base is set out accurately, poured to spec and prepared for inspection where required.
Camberwell’s Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces and modern apartments often sit on varied ground and older boundary walls. That means foundations may need deeper digs, wall footings, or reinforcement to manage loads and prevent movement. We regularly support projects across SE5, including links to Peckham and Dulwich where plot constraints can affect machinery access. Our recommendations balance engineering requirements with practical buildability and budget.
We start with a site visit, levels check and a clear scope for strip foundations, pad foundations, raft foundations or deep foundations as needed. You’ll get straightforward guidance on Building Regulations, inspections and pour sequencing, plus a written plan for spoil removal and concrete deliveries. Our team works efficiently—Camberwell is around 20 minutes from our Norbury base—so you benefit from responsive scheduling. Homeowners trust us for neat finishes, consistent communication and foundations built to last.
We’re used to the London Borough of Southwark’s access challenges, parking controls and narrow streets around SE5. Many Camberwell plots have limited storage space, so we plan deliveries, muck-away and concrete pours to minimise disruption. Where older terraces meet shared boundaries, we pay close attention to wall footings and safe excavation methods. Our approach adapts to your property type and the realities of working near busy routes and institutions like King’s College Hospital.

Costs vary with foundation type, depth, access and the volume of spoil to remove. As a guide, smaller pad foundations for posts or a compact garden room base may start from £900–£2,500. Strip foundations for an extension are often £3,500–£9,000+, while reinforced raft foundations can range £6,000–£15,000+. We’ll price after a site visit and drawings/spec where available.
Most domestic foundation jobs take 2–7 working days from excavation to pour, depending on size and complexity. A few pads can be completed in 1–2 days, while strip foundations for an extension may take 3–6 days. Raft foundations can take longer due to sub-base preparation, reinforcement and formwork. Timescales are affected by access in SE5, inspection booking, weather and any unexpected ground conditions.
Foundations themselves usually fall under Building Regulations rather than planning permission, but the overall project (extension, outbuilding or structural works) may need approval. Many smaller garden structures can be permitted development, though limits apply. In the London Borough of Southwark, you may also need to consider party wall matters and site logistics. We liaise with your designer and help prepare for Building Control inspections and compliance checks.
Yes. Our concrete foundation installations come with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship and structural integrity of the installed foundation elements, provided the build follows the agreed design and loading assumptions. It includes issues arising from poor compaction, incorrect reinforcement placement, or inadequate concrete installation on our part. It doesn’t cover movement caused by later changes, leaks, tree removal, or third-party structural alterations. Warranty details are provided in writing.
We install strip foundations, pad foundations, raft foundations, wall footings and reinforced solutions depending on your build. Options include standard C25/30 concrete mixes, sulphate-resistant concrete where specified, steel reinforcement (mesh or rebar), and insulated raft build-ups for energy-efficient garden rooms. We’ll advise on depth, width and reinforcement based on drawings, ground conditions and load paths, then coordinate with Building Control for sign-off.
