Costs vary with depth, access, soil conditions and the foundation type. As a guide, small pad foundations for posts or a garden room often start from around £800–£2,000. Strip foundations for an extension commonly fall in the £3,000–£10,000 range, while engineered raft foundations can be £8,000–£20,000+. We’ll survey in SE19 and provide an itemised estimate including excavation, reinforcement and concrete.
Most foundation projects take 2–7 working days from excavation to pour, depending on size and access. Small pad bases can be completed in 1–2 days, while strip foundations for an extension typically take 3–6 days. Raft foundations may take 5–10 days including insulation, steel fixing and formwork. Timescales are affected by inspection scheduling, weather, spoil removal logistics and any unexpected ground issues.
Foundations themselves usually sit within a wider project, and many domestic works are permitted development, but it depends on what you’re building and where. Even when planning permission isn’t required, Building Regulations approval is commonly needed for structural foundations, and inspections may be required before pouring. We’ll help you understand what applies in the London Borough of Croydon, liaise with your designer/engineer, and make sure the groundwork is ready for sign-off.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our foundation workmanship, covering issues arising from installation defects such as incorrect levels, poor compaction, inadequate reinforcement placement (where specified) or substandard concrete handling. The warranty applies when the foundation is used as designed and not altered by later works. We also keep clear records of depths, steel and pours to support Building Control and give you confidence for future resale.
We can build strip foundations for load-bearing walls, pad foundations for point loads, or raft foundations where ground conditions or layout make them sensible.

We’ll work from your drawings or arrange engineering input, then recommend the most cost-effective, compliant design for your Norwood Grove plot and build type.
