From garden rooms to rear extensions, a reliable base is what keeps the whole build true. Our team delivers concrete foundations across SW1, working around tight access and busy streets near Pimlico tube station and Victoria. Every foundation is set out accurately, excavated to the right depth and poured to spec. You get clear communication, tidy working practices and a finish ready for the next trade.
Pimlico’s mix of Regency townhouses, mansion blocks and period conversions often brings structural quirks—older walls, varied floor levels and shared boundaries. We’re used to coordinating with builders and engineers where party walls, basements or lightwells affect foundation design. For projects near Dolphin Square or St George's Square, we plan deliveries and pours to minimise disruption. If you need concrete foundations Pimlico area homeowners can rely on, we tailor the solution to the building, not a one-size approach.
We start with a site visit, levels check and a practical discussion of loads, drainage runs and access. Where required, we work from structural engineer details and ensure reinforcement, wall footings and deep foundations meet Building Regulations. You’ll receive a clear scope, staged scheduling and quality checks before pour day. Local homeowners choose us for dependable workmanship, transparent pricing and a 10-year warranty on our foundation installation.
Working in the City of Westminster often means restricted parking, controlled hours and careful logistics for concrete wagons and pumps. Pimlico properties can sit on made ground near older services, so we locate utilities and design depths accordingly. We also account for tight side passages, shared boundaries and basement-adjacent structures common in period buildings. This local approach helps keep foundations accurate, compliant and hassle-free for neighbours.

Costs vary with depth, access, soil conditions and whether engineering is required. As a guide, small pad foundations for posts can start from £800–£1,800. Strip foundations for a typical garden room or extension commonly range £3,000–£9,000, while raft foundations may be £6,000–£15,000+. Restricted SW1 access, spoil removal and concrete pumping can add to the budget. We provide a detailed, itemised estimate after a site survey.
Most projects take 2–7 working days from excavation to pour, depending on size and complexity. A few pads may be completed in a day, whereas strip foundations for an extension can take several days including digging, forming, reinforcement and inspections. Raft foundations typically take longer due to preparation and steel fixing. Timescales are affected by access, weather, ground conditions, service diversions and Building Control inspection availability.
Foundations themselves usually fall under Building Regulations rather than planning permission, but the overall project (extension, outbuilding or structural alteration) may need planning consent in the City of Westminster. You’ll almost always need Building Control sign-off for excavation depth, reinforcement and concrete specification. If your property is listed or in a conservation area, extra rules may apply. We liaise with your designer/engineer and help you confirm the correct approvals before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our foundation installation workmanship, covering issues arising from incorrect preparation, placement or specified reinforcement within our scope. It includes defects such as avoidable settlement linked to installation errors, subject to normal terms and site conditions. Materials are supplied to recognised standards, and we keep records of mixes and reinforcement where applicable. If a problem is identified, we investigate promptly and agree a clear remediation plan.
We install strip foundations, pad foundations, raft foundations and wall footings, with reinforced or deep foundation solutions where needed. Options depend on loads, ground conditions, nearby structures and drainage routes. We can work to your structural engineer’s drawings or arrange engineering input for more complex builds. We’ll also advise on practical details such as concrete strength, damp-proof interfaces and set-downs for finished floor levels, so the foundation suits the build from day one.
