If you’re planning an extension, garden room or structural rebuild in SE11, the foundation design is where the project succeeds or fails. We install strip foundations, pad foundations, raft foundations and wall footings to suit your build and ground conditions. Our team regularly works around The Oval cricket ground and Kennington Park, where access and logistics need careful planning. Expect tidy excavation, accurate setting-out and concrete pours managed to specification.
Kennington’s Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces and mansion blocks often come with tight side returns, party walls and restricted access. We’re used to working on rear extensions near Oval and along routes towards Vauxhall, where deliveries and spoil removal must be organised efficiently. For older properties, we assess existing structures and specify reinforced solutions where needed. This local experience helps us deliver concrete foundations Kennington area homeowners can build on with confidence.
We start with a site visit, levels check and a clear recommendation on foundation type and depth. Where required, we coordinate engineering input, reinforcement schedules and Building Control inspections so everything is signed off properly. You’ll get a written scope, staged programme and photo updates as the work progresses. Homeowners choose us because we’re consistent on quality, keep sites safe and leave the groundwork ready for the next trade.
Working in the London Borough of Lambeth means factoring in busy streets, controlled parking and limited skip space, especially near Kennington tube station and Elephant & Castle. We plan deliveries, pump access and spoil removal to keep the job moving. Ground conditions can vary across short distances, so we confirm depths and formation before pouring. Our methods suit period terraces and mansion blocks where vibration control and careful sequencing matter.

Costs depend on foundation type, depth, access and spoil removal. As a guide, small pads for posts can start from £900–£2,000, while strip foundations for a typical rear extension commonly fall around £4,000–£12,000. Raft foundations and deep, reinforced solutions can range from £10,000–£30,000+. We’ll survey the site in SE11 and provide a detailed, itemised estimate.
Most domestic foundation works take 3–10 working days from excavation to pour, with curing time afterwards before heavy loading. A simple strip foundation might be completed in under a week, while raft or deep foundations can take 1–3 weeks. Timescales vary with access, weather, discovery of obstructions, and Building Control inspection scheduling. We provide a staged programme so you can plan the next trades.
Foundations themselves rarely need planning permission, but the extension or structure they support may. Many home improvements are permitted development, yet restrictions can apply to flats, maisonettes, conservation areas, and works affecting party walls. Building Regulations approval is typically required for structural foundations, and inspections are standard. We’ll help you confirm what applies in the London Borough of Lambeth and coordinate information for Building Control.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for concrete foundations, covering defects arising from installation, such as incorrect placement of reinforcement, inadequate compaction, or poor setting-out. Materials are supplied to specification and supported by manufacturer standards. The warranty does not cover issues caused by later alterations, exceptional ground movement, or drainage failures outside our scope. We document the build so you have a clear record for future works.
We install strip foundations, pad foundations, raft foundations and wall footings, with options for reinforced concrete, deeper digs, and engineered solutions where loads are higher. We can incorporate steel reinforcement cages, mesh, and starter bars for walls or columns. If access is tight, we’ll advise on concrete pumping and staged pours. We help you choose the right approach based on drawings, soil conditions and Building Regs requirements.
