If you’re planning an extension or new structure in SE15, the foundation choice is what protects everything above it. We install strip foundations, pad foundations, raft foundations and wall footings, engineered to suit your plot and loads. From tight side access near Queen’s Road to larger gardens by Peckham Rye Park, we plan pours and deliveries carefully. Our team manages excavation, reinforcement, concrete placement and curing for a dependable base.
Peckham’s mix of Victorian terraces, Georgian houses and converted warehouses often brings varied ground conditions and structural details. Older terrace plots can mean shared boundaries, shallow services and restricted access, especially around Nunhead and Camberwell. Warehouse conversions and newer builds may need upgraded reinforcement or deeper foundations for altered load paths. We tailor specifications so your foundation works with the building, not against it.
We start with a site visit, levels and ground assessment, then recommend the correct foundation type—strip, pad, raft or deep foundations—based on engineering needs. You’ll get a clear scope, programme and what’s required for Building Control inspections. We keep excavations neat, protect neighbouring structures, and coordinate concrete deliveries to minimise disruption. Homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, transparent communication and a 10-year warranty on our foundation work.
Working across the London Borough of Southwark, we’re used to Peckham’s tight access, controlled parking, and busy streets around Peckham Library and the Bussey Building. Many SE15 properties sit on made ground or variable clay, so we plan depth, reinforcement and drainage carefully. Where boundaries are close, we sequence digs to reduce risk and maintain stability. We also schedule deliveries and skips to suit local restrictions and neighbours.

Costs vary with depth, ground conditions, access and the foundation type. As a guide in Peckham, strip foundations for a small extension often start around £2,500–£6,000, while larger or reinforced schemes may be £6,000–£15,000+. Raft foundations can range from £8,000–£25,000+ depending on size and steel content. We provide a detailed breakdown after a site visit and drawings.
Most domestic foundation jobs take 3–10 working days from setting out to pour, plus curing time before building proceeds. Simple strip foundations on clear sites can be quicker, while deep foundations, heavy reinforcement, or restricted access near Queen’s Road can extend the programme. Timescales also depend on Building Control inspection availability, weather, and whether we need to divert or protect services. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule before starting.
Foundations themselves usually fall under Building Regulations rather than planning permission, although the overall project (extension, outbuilding or structural change) may need planning approval. In Southwark, permitted development can apply to some domestic works, but there are limits and conditions. We advise what’s typically required, liaise with your designer/engineer, and support Building Control inspections. If party wall matters apply, we’ll flag that early too.
Yes. Our concrete foundation installations come with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship-related defects, such as issues arising from incorrect installation, poor compaction, or improper placement of reinforcement. It also covers our compliance with the agreed specification and Building Regs requirements for the foundation works we deliver. The warranty doesn’t cover structural movement caused by external factors like major leaks, tree-related subsidence, or changes outside our scope.
We install strip foundations, pad foundations, raft foundations, wall footings and deep foundations, with reinforced options where loads or soil demand it. Concrete mixes can be specified for strength, sulphate resistance, or faster set times when programmes are tight. We can also incorporate starter bars, holding-down bolts and slab interfaces for garden rooms or steelwork. Your final design is guided by site conditions, engineering, and Building Regs compliance.
