Pollards Hill has plenty of 1930s semis, post-war housing and maisonettes, often with side access that can be tight for materials and spoil removal. We regularly work across SW16, including nearby Norbury and Streatham Vale, adapting our approach to each plot. Whether you’re building close to an existing property line or working around established gardens, we plan excavation and pours to protect what matters. Our team is used to the practicalities of residential streets and shared driveways.
We start with a site assessment, levels and load requirements, then recommend strip foundations, pad foundations or raft foundations as appropriate. Excavation depths, reinforcement and concrete specification are set out clearly, and we coordinate inspections for Building Regs where needed. You’ll get clean edges, correct curing time, and a site left safe and tidy each day. Local homeowners choose us for straight answers, engineered workmanship and dependable scheduling.
Ground conditions can vary street to street in the London Borough of Merton, so we don’t rely on guesswork. Around South Lodge Avenue and nearby roads, access and parking can affect delivery timing and spoil collection, so we plan logistics upfront. We also consider proximity to neighbouring foundations and garden features common with 1930s plots. The result is concrete foundations Pollards Hill area homeowners can build on with confidence.

Costs depend on foundation type, depth, access and how much excavation/spoil removal is required. As a guide, small pad foundations for posts or a compact base often start around £600–£1,500. Strip foundations for a typical extension footprint commonly fall in the £2,500–£7,500 range, while reinforced or deeper foundations can be £8,000–£15,000+. We’ll survey and provide a detailed, itemised quote.
Most domestic foundation jobs take 2–5 working days from set-out to pour, with curing time afterwards before building continues. Larger footprints, deeper excavations, or reinforced raft foundations can take 1–2 weeks. Timescales are affected by access in SW16 streets, the amount of spoil to remove, inspection scheduling for Building Regs, and weather during pours. We’ll agree a programme and keep you updated daily.
Foundations themselves usually sit within a wider project, and many garden structures or small extensions can be permitted development, but it depends on size, location and use. Regardless of planning, Building Regulations approval is commonly required for structural works, and inspections may be needed before pouring. We can liaise with your designer/engineer and help you understand what applies for your property in Merton, including any party wall considerations near boundaries.
