If you’re building in SE15, the right foundation is what keeps everything above it stable. We install strip foundations, pad foundations, raft foundations and wall footings for projects across Nunhead and nearby Peckham. From plots close to Nunhead Cemetery to streets by Telegraph Hill Park, we tailor depths, reinforcement and concrete specification to the site. Every pour is set out accurately, inspected where required, and recorded for your build file.
Nunhead’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and period cottages often come with tight side access, shared boundaries and older drains that need careful planning. We’re used to working around party walls, cellar voids and mixed ground conditions common in the concrete foundations Nunhead area. Whether you’re adding a rear extension, rebuilding a garden wall, or supporting a new outbuilding, we engineer the footing type to suit the load and layout. You’ll get clear advice on excavation, spoil removal and how we keep disruption down for neighbours.
Our process starts with a site visit, levels check and a practical foundation recommendation aligned with Building Control. We handle excavation, shuttering, reinforcement, concrete supply, and curing protection, then leave the site clean and safe. For concrete foundations in London Borough of Southwark, we coordinate inspections and provide the paperwork you’ll need for sign-off. Homeowners trust us because we don’t cut corners: correct depths, correct steel, and correct compaction—done once, done right.
Access and parking can be challenging around Nunhead Green and the surrounding residential streets, so we plan deliveries and muck-away to minimise disruption. Ground conditions can vary across SE15, and older properties may have shallow existing footings or legacy drainage runs. We work to London Borough of Southwark requirements and liaise with Building Control for inspections at the right stages. Where space is limited, we use efficient dig methods and tidy spoil handling to keep sites safe and compliant.

Costs depend on foundation type, depth, access, and how much excavation and spoil removal is needed. As a guide, small pad foundations for posts or a garden room base might start around £900–£2,000. Strip foundations for an extension are often £3,500–£9,000+, while raft foundations can range from £6,000–£15,000+ depending on size, reinforcement and ground conditions. We’ll survey and itemise everything before work starts.
Most domestic foundation jobs take 2–7 working days from excavation to pour, with curing time after. A few pads may be completed in a day or two, while strip foundations for an extension typically take 3–6 days depending on depth and weather. Raft foundations can take 5–10 days due to extra preparation and reinforcement. Timescales are affected by access in SE15, Building Control inspection timing, and any unexpected obstructions like drains or old footings.
Foundations themselves usually fall under Building Regulations rather than planning permission, but the structure you’re building (extension, outbuilding, wall) may need planning approval depending on size and location. Many garden and rear works are permitted development, yet restrictions can apply, especially near boundaries or where conditions are attached to the property. We’ll help you understand what’s likely required and coordinate with Building Control inspections so your foundations comply from day one.
Yes. Our concrete foundation installations come with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship and installation defects, including issues linked to incorrect set-out, inadequate reinforcement (where specified), or poor concrete placement. It also covers failures caused by not meeting agreed depths or specification. The warranty doesn’t cover structural movement caused by unrelated building defects, major leaks, or changes to loads after completion. We provide written documentation and photos for your records.
We offer strip foundations, pad foundations, raft foundations, deep foundations and wall footings, with reinforced concrete options where spans or ground conditions require it. Concrete mixes can be specified for strength and durability, and reinforcement can be designed to suit loading and layout. We’ll advise on depth, width, and steel detailing, and can work from your engineer’s drawings or arrange engineering input. The right choice depends on soil, access, and the structure above.
