That means foundations must be planned around neighbouring structures, existing drains and party wall considerations. We regularly support homeowners across Deptford, Brockley and Nunhead with foundations that suit extensions, outbuildings and retaining walls. Our team understands how to work efficiently on compact plots without compromising depth or strength.
We start with a site visit, levels check and a clear recommendation on foundation type, including deep foundations where required. You’ll get a written scope, staged programme and Building Regs-ready workmanship, with reinforcement installed to engineer detail. We coordinate inspections and keep the site safe and tidy, with spoil removal and access protection included where needed. Homeowners choose us for straightforward communication and dependable results backed by a 10-year warranty.

Ground conditions can vary between made ground, clay and old garden fill, so we adapt depth, reinforcement and pour sequencing accordingly. We plan deliveries to reduce disruption and keep paths protected, especially on terrace properties with limited frontage. Where required, we align our work with London Borough of Lewisham expectations and Building Control inspections.

Costs depend on depth, access, spoil removal and the foundation type. As a guide, small pad foundations for posts or a small outbuilding often start around £800–£2,000. Strip foundations for a typical rear extension are commonly £3,000–£8,000, while raft foundations can range from £6,000–£15,000+. If engineering, deep foundations or heavy reinforcement is needed, budgets can increase accordingly.
Most domestic foundations take 2–5 working days from excavation to pour, depending on size and access. A small set of pads may be completed in a day or two, while strip foundations for an extension often take 3–5 days including set-out and inspections. Raft foundations can take 5–10 days because of sub-base preparation, insulation, reinforcement and formwork. Timescales vary with weather, ground conditions and Building Control availability.
Foundations themselves usually fall under Building Regulations rather than planning permission, but the structure you’re building may need planning consent depending on size, height and proximity to boundaries. In many cases, rear extensions and outbuildings can be permitted development, but there are limits and exceptions. We’ll help you check requirements for your address in the London Borough of Lewisham and ensure Building Control inspections are booked at the right stages.
Yes. Our foundation installations come with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship and installation defects, including issues linked to incorrect set-out, inadequate compaction, or reinforcement not installed to the agreed design. We also provide photos and notes during key stages so you have a clear record for your builder and Building Control. The warranty does not cover structural movement caused by third-party alterations or unforeseen ground events outside the design scope.
We install strip foundations, pad foundations, raft foundations and wall footings, with reinforced concrete where loads or ground conditions demand it. Options include varying concrete strengths, steel rebar layouts to engineer detail, and deeper trench designs for weaker soils. We can also incorporate service ducts, drainage allowances and level changes for stepped foundations on sloping sites. We’ll recommend the most suitable solution after assessing your layout, loads and access constraints.
