Elephant & Castle mixes Victorian terraces in Kennington and Walworth with new-build apartments and modern high-rises around Strata Tower. That variety affects load paths, access routes, and how we manage concrete deliveries and reinforcement. We regularly work on tight side returns, rear access-only plots, and developments with strict site rules. Our engineering-led approach ensures the foundation type matches your property and the build design.
We start with a site visit, discuss your drawings, and confirm the best foundation solution—strip, pad, raft, wall footings, reinforced or deep foundations where required. You’ll get a clear scope, staged schedule, and tidy working practices to protect neighbours and shared access. We coordinate inspections and documentation for Building Control and keep you updated at each milestone. Homeowners choose us for dependable workmanship, transparent pricing, and a 10-year warranty on qualifying works.

As a guide, small strip foundations for a garden room might start around £1,800–£4,000, while extension foundations with deeper trenches can be £4,000–£10,000+. Raft foundations are often £6,000–£15,000+ depending on size and steel. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.

Simple pad foundations can be completed in a couple of days, while deeper strip foundations or reinforced rafts may take a week or more. Timescales are affected by access in SE1/SE17, service diversions, Building Control inspections, weather, and concrete delivery scheduling. We confirm a realistic programme before starting.
