Whether you’re planning an extension, garden room or structural landscaping, the right base matters. We design and install strip foundations, pad foundations, raft foundations and wall footings across W12, working to suit each plot and load requirement. Projects near Westfield London and Shepherd's Bush Green often need careful access planning and staged pours. Our team keeps excavations safe, sites organised and neighbours considered.
Shepherd's Bush has a mix of Victorian terraces, mansion conversions and modern apartments, and each brings different foundation challenges. Victorian terraces can require deeper excavations, underpinning interfaces or tighter working areas along party walls. Mansion conversions may involve complex load paths where reinforced solutions are essential. For newer builds around White City, we often specify engineered rafts or pads to suit modern layouts and services runs.
We start with a site visit, levels check and an engineering-led recommendation for the most suitable foundation type. You’ll get clear scope, safe excavation, steel reinforcement where required, and concrete pours scheduled to minimise disruption. We coordinate inspections and documentation for Building Regs, and we don’t sign off until lines, levels and curing are right. Homeowners choose us for reliable communication, clean handovers and workmanship that lasts.
Working in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham means factoring in restricted access, controlled parking and busy streets around Shepherd's Bush Empire and Westfield London. Ground conditions can vary between made ground and heavier clay, so we adjust excavation depth, reinforcement and drainage detailing accordingly. We plan spoil removal, deliveries and concrete pours to reduce disruption, especially on terrace streets. If inspections or notifications are needed, we help you stay organised and compliant.

Costs vary with depth, soil conditions, access and the foundation type. As a guide, small pad foundations can start from £800–£1,500 each, while strip foundations for a typical rear extension often fall around £4,000–£10,000. Raft foundations are usually higher due to steel and concrete volumes, commonly £8,000–£18,000+. Tight W12 access, spoil removal and engineering details can affect the final figure.
Most domestic foundation works take 2–7 working days from excavation to pour, plus curing time before heavy loading. A small set of pads may be completed in 1–2 days, while strip foundations for an extension often take 3–5 days depending on depth and inspections. Raft foundations can take 5–10 days due to ground prep, formwork and reinforcement. Access, weather and Building Control scheduling can extend timings.
Foundations themselves usually don’t require planning permission, but the structure they support (extension, outbuilding or retaining wall) might. Most homeowners will need Building Regulations approval, and inspections are typically required before pouring concrete. In the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, additional considerations can include party wall matters and site logistics on busy streets. We’ll advise what applies, help coordinate Building Control, and flag any permissions early.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our concrete foundation workmanship, covering defects related to installation such as incorrect levels, inadequate compaction, or reinforcement placement not matching the agreed specification. The warranty applies when the foundations are used as designed and not altered by later works. We also keep clear records of pours, reinforcement and inspections where applicable. If an issue arises, we respond promptly to assess and put it right.
We offer strip foundations for load-bearing walls, pad foundations for posts and point loads, and raft foundations where ground conditions or layouts suit a single reinforced slab. Wall footings can be designed for garden retaining structures, and deep foundations are available where required by engineering or nearby trees. Options include varying concrete strengths, steel reinforcement layouts and drainage/insulation details. We’ll recommend the best approach after assessing access, loads and ground conditions.
