Whether you’re underpinning a garden room, supporting an extension, or rebuilding a boundary wall, the foundation is what keeps everything stable. We design and install concrete foundations around SE11, working near The Oval cricket ground and Oval tube station where access can be tight. Our team handles excavation, shuttering, reinforcement and pours with a focus on accuracy. The result is a base that’s level, strong and ready for the next trade.
Oval’s Georgian townhouses and Victorian terraces often come with shallow footings, shared walls and restricted side access. Mansion flats and converted properties can also require careful sequencing to reduce disruption. We’re used to working in the concrete foundations Oval area where neighbouring structures sit close and ground conditions can vary street to street. Every job starts with the right foundation type for the load, layout and soil.
We survey, set out, and specify the correct solution—strip foundations, pad foundations, raft foundations, wall footings or deep foundations where needed. Reinforcement is installed to engineer’s detail, and pours are managed for consistent curing and strength. We coordinate inspections for Building Regs and keep paperwork organised. Homeowners choose us for neat sites, dependable scheduling, and a 10-year warranty-backed finish.
Working in the London Borough of Lambeth means planning for tight streets, parking controls and limited storage space, especially around Kennington and Vauxhall. We schedule deliveries, manage spoil removal, and use compact machinery where access is restricted. Ground conditions can vary, so we adapt with deeper digs, wider strips or rafts when required by the engineer. We also keep neighbours in mind, protecting boundaries and party-wall-adjacent areas.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Costs vary with depth, access, spoil removal and the foundation type. As a guide, small pads for posts can start from £300–£700 each, while strip foundations for a typical rear extension often fall around £2,500–£7,500. Raft foundations are usually higher, commonly £6,000–£15,000+. Engineering design, reinforcement, and Building Control requirements can also affect the final figure.
Most domestic foundation works take 2–7 working days from excavation to pour, depending on size and access. A few pad foundations may be completed in a day, while strip foundations for an extension typically take several days including setting out, digging, inspections and pouring. Raft or deep foundations can take 1–3 weeks. Weather, ground conditions, service diversions and Building Control inspection timing all influence duration.
Foundations themselves rarely need planning permission, but the structure they support (extension, outbuilding, wall) may. In Lambeth, many domestic projects fall under Permitted Development, though restrictions can apply to flats, conservation areas, and larger builds. Separate to planning, Building Regulations approval is usually required for new foundations and structural work. We’ll help you confirm requirements and coordinate with your engineer and Building Control.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for concrete foundations, covering defects caused by installation errors such as incorrect levels, poor compaction, or reinforcement not placed to specification. It also covers issues arising from non-compliant construction where we were responsible for delivery. The warranty doesn’t cover problems caused by design changes after completion, extreme events, or third-party alterations. We keep clear records to support any claim.
We install strip foundations, pad foundations, raft foundations, wall footings and reinforced solutions, with deep foundations where ground conditions demand it. Concrete mixes can be specified for strength, sulphate resistance, or faster curing when needed. Reinforcement options include rebar cages and mesh to engineer detail. We’ll review loads, soil information and access constraints, then recommend the most practical, Building Regs-compliant design for your project.
