Concrete Foundations in Earl's Court built for long-term stability, not shortcuts. From strip and pad foundations to reinforced rafts and deep solutions, we engineer bases that pass Building Regs and suit SW5 properties.
Response within 24 hours
If you’re planning an extension, garden room or structural landscaping, the foundation is the make-or-break stage. We deliver engineered concrete foundations across SW5, working near Earl’s Court tube station and around Philbeach Gardens. Every pour is set out accurately, reinforced where required, and designed to support the loads above. You get a clean, compliant base ready for the next trade.
Earl’s Court has a mix of Victorian mansion conversions, period flats and garden square properties, often with tight side access and shared boundaries. We regularly support projects across Kensington, West Brompton and Fulham where ground conditions and existing structures can vary from plot to plot. Our team understands how to protect neighbouring walls, manage vibration, and plan excavations around services. The result is a foundation design that suits the building, not a one-size approach.
We start with a site visit, levels check and a clear scope, then recommend strip foundations, pad foundations, raft foundations or deep foundations as appropriate. Wall footings are formed to line and level, steel is fixed to spec, and concrete is placed and finished for strength and accuracy. We coordinate inspections and documentation to satisfy Building Regs. Homeowners trust us for tidy working, reliable scheduling, and workmanship backed by a written warranty.
Working in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea often means restricted parking, controlled hours, and careful waste removal. Around the Earl's Court Exhibition Centre site and nearby mansion blocks, access can be narrow and neighbours close, so we plan deliveries, spoil skips and concrete pours to minimise disruption. Ground conditions can change over short distances, so we assess bearing and specify reinforcement or deeper solutions when needed. Our method statements and tidy site management suit RBKC expectations.

Costs vary with depth, access, spoil removal and the foundation type. As a guide, small pad foundations for posts can start from £900–£2,000, while strip foundations for a modest extension are often £4,000–£12,000. Raft foundations and reinforced designs commonly fall in the £10,000–£25,000+ range. Tight SW5 access, hand-digging, and higher disposal charges can increase budgets.
Most domestic foundation packages take 3–10 working days from excavation to pour, depending on size and complexity. A few pads may be done in 1–2 days, while a larger strip or raft foundation can take 1–2 weeks including steel fixing and formwork. Timescales are affected by access for machinery, depth required, inspections, and weather. We provide a schedule and keep you updated daily.
Concrete foundations themselves are usually part of a wider project, and many rear extensions or garden structures can fall under permitted development. However, RBKC planning rules, conservation area constraints, and party wall matters can apply, especially with Victorian conversions and shared boundaries. Building Regulations approval and inspections are typically required for foundations. We’ll advise what’s needed, liaise with your designer/engineer, and help you stay compliant.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our foundation workmanship, covering defects arising from installation issues such as incorrect levels, inadequate compaction, or poor concrete placement. Where structural engineering designs specify reinforcement and dimensions, we build to that specification and keep records for sign-off. The warranty does not cover changes in loading from later alterations or issues caused by third-party work. You’ll receive written confirmation on completion.
We offer strip foundations, pad foundations, raft foundations, wall footings, and reinforced or deep foundations where ground conditions demand it. Options include different concrete strengths, sulphate-resistant mixes, varying rebar layouts, and insulated details for energy-efficient builds. We’ll review your plans, site levels and soil conditions, then recommend the most suitable solution for the structure and budget. If required, we coordinate with an engineer for calculations and drawings.
