Hither Green is a popular family area with excellent schools and plenty of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and 1930s semis. These property types often need careful foundation choices due to older drains, party walls and varying ground levels. We’re used to tight side access, shared boundaries and staged excavations to protect neighbouring structures. For homeowners across Lee, Grove Park and Lewisham, we tailor the foundation type to the building loads and site constraints.
Our process starts with a site visit, levels and a practical build plan, then we confirm the right solution: strip foundations, pad foundations, raft foundations, deep foundations or reinforced wall footings. We coordinate with engineers where required, manage spoil removal, and pour concrete to the specified depth and strength. You’ll get clear documentation for Building Regs and Building Control inspections. Local homeowners choose us for tidy sites, dependable scheduling and a finish that’s ready for the next trade.
Ground conditions around SE13 can vary, so we assess soil, drainage runs and nearby trees before digging.

We also factor in party wall lines and older services common in Victorian and Edwardian housing. Our concrete foundations Hither Green area service is designed to keep inspections smooth and neighbours happy.

Costs depend on foundation type, depth, access and spoil removal. As a guide, small pad foundations for posts/outbuildings often start around £600–£1,500. Strip foundations for a typical rear extension commonly range from £3,000–£8,000. Raft foundations or deep foundations can be £8,000–£20,000+ where engineering, reinforcement and larger pours are required. We provide an itemised quote after a site visit in SE13.
Most domestic foundation jobs take 2–7 working days from excavation to pour, depending on size and complexity. A small pad foundation may be done in a day or two, while strip foundations for an extension often take 3–5 days including inspections. Raft foundations can take a week or more due to sub-base prep and steel fixing. Timescales are affected by access in SE13, weather, spoil volumes and Building Control visit timings.
Foundations themselves don’t usually need planning permission, but the structure they support might. Many home extensions and garden buildings can fall under permitted development, subject to size and location rules. Regardless, Building Regulations approval is typically required, and Building Control will want to inspect excavations before concrete is poured. We can liaise with your designer/engineer and help ensure your concrete foundations in London Borough of Lewisham meet inspection requirements.
