Kingston upon Thames has a mix of Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and modern waterfront apartments, and each brings different structural demands. Older properties often need sympathetic underpinning details, deeper excavations or stepped footings to match existing levels. Newer builds can require engineered solutions to meet loadings and tight tolerances. Our concrete foundations Kingston upon Thames area service is tailored to the building type, site constraints and intended use.
We start with a site visit, discuss loads and layout, then recommend strip foundations, pad foundations, raft foundations or wall footings as appropriate. Excavation, reinforcement, formwork and pours are managed by an experienced team, with inspections arranged at the right stages for compliance. You’ll get clear communication, clean edges and accurate levels, so the next trade can start on time. Homeowners choose us for engineering-led work, reliable scheduling and a finish that meets Building Regs.
Ground conditions can vary across the borough, from riverside soils to made ground near redevelopment sites, so we assess depth and reinforcement needs carefully. Parking and access can be tight around busy shopping streets and residential roads, so we plan deliveries, spoil removal and pour times to reduce disruption. We also account for neighbouring walls, shared boundaries and party wall considerations common with period homes. Our concrete foundations in Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames approach keeps the build compliant and practical from day one.

Costs vary with depth, access, spoil removal and the foundation type. As a guide, small pad foundations for posts or a garden room can start from £800–£2,000. Strip foundations for an extension are commonly £3,500–£9,000, while raft foundations often range £7,000–£18,000+. Deep foundations and heavy reinforcement can increase costs. We provide a site-specific estimate after measuring and discussing loads.
Most domestic foundation jobs take 2–7 working days from excavation to pour, depending on size and complexity. A small set of pads may be completed in a day or two, while strip foundations for an extension typically take 3–5 days. Raft foundations can take a week or more due to extra preparation and reinforcement. Timescales are affected by access, weather, ground conditions and inspection scheduling.
Concrete foundations themselves rarely need planning permission, but the structure they support (extension, outbuilding or major landscaping) may. Building Regulations approval is usually required, and inspections are typically needed before pouring. We can coordinate with your designer, engineer and Building Control to ensure the correct depth, reinforcement and details are in place. If your property is near constraints or has special considerations, we’ll flag them early.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our foundation installations, covering issues such as defective placement, poor compaction, incorrect levels and reinforcement installation errors. The warranty applies when the foundations are used as designed and not altered by later works. We also keep clear records of specification, photos and inspection stages where applicable. If a problem arises, we respond promptly to assess and put it right.
We install strip foundations, pad foundations, raft foundations, wall footings and deep foundations, with reinforced options where loads or ground conditions demand it. Concrete mixes can be specified for strength and exposure, and we can include steel reinforcement, mesh, starter bars and formed edges. We’ll advise on depth, width and stepping to suit levels and existing structures. Where engineering is required, we work to structural drawings and Building Regs requirements.
