If you’re planning an extension, garden room or retaining wall near South Croydon station or Lloyd Park, the foundation design is where the quality starts. We install strip foundations, pad foundations, raft foundations and wall footings to suit your structure and ground conditions. Our team handles excavation, shuttering, reinforcement and concrete pours with care around services and boundaries. You get a stable base that supports the build and helps prevent settlement issues later.
South Croydon’s leafy streets include Victorian villas, 1930s semis and large detached homes, often with side access constraints and mature trees. We’re used to working on CR2 plots where levels change and gardens back onto green spaces such as Croham Hurst Woods. Whether you’re in Sanderstead, Purley or closer to Croydon, we tailor the foundation type and depth to the property and intended load. That means fewer surprises when your builder starts above ground.
We start with a site visit, discuss the proposed structure, then plan excavation and spoil removal to keep disruption down. Where required, we coordinate engineering input for reinforced or deep foundations and ensure measurements are ready for inspections. Our work is carried out with Building Regulations in mind, including correct depths, widths and reinforcement placement. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, clean working practices and a clear handover for the next trade.
Ground conditions in the concrete foundations south croydon area can vary between made ground, clay and tree-influenced soils, especially near wooded pockets. We plan for access and parking on residential roads, and we protect driveways, paths and garden features during excavation. For sloping gardens and stepped plots, we can form deep foundations or stepped strip footings to maintain stability. Our experience with concrete foundations in London Borough of Croydon helps projects move smoothly through inspections.

Costs vary with depth, soil, access and the foundation type. As a guide, small pad foundations might start around £300–£700 each, while strip foundations for an extension often fall in the £2,500–£8,000 range. Raft foundations are typically higher, commonly £6,000–£15,000+ depending on size and reinforcement. We’ll confirm scope after a site visit and any engineer’s details.
Most domestic foundation jobs take 2–7 working days from excavation to pour, depending on size and weather. A few pads for posts can be completed in a day, while strip foundations for an extension may take several days including set-out, digging and inspection. Raft foundations can take longer due to sub-base preparation and reinforcement. Access, spoil removal, and Building Control inspection timing can also affect the programme.
Foundations themselves usually form part of a wider project, and many garden structures or extensions may be permitted development, but it depends on size, height and location. Building Regulations approval is commonly required for structural work, with inspections at key stages such as excavation and reinforcement. We can work with your designer or builder to prepare for Building Control visits. If there are trees, drains or party boundaries, extra checks may apply.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on our foundation workmanship, covering issues caused by installation defects such as incorrect set-out, inadequate compaction or poor reinforcement placement. It applies when the foundations are used as intended and not altered by later works. We also keep clear records of depths, reinforcement and pours to support inspections. Any manufacturer warranties on materials are passed on where applicable.
We install strip foundations, pad foundations, raft foundations and wall footings, with reinforced options where required. Concrete mixes can be specified for strength class, slump and exposure conditions, and we can include mesh or rebar cages to engineer detail. For sloping sites, stepped strips and deep foundations are common solutions. We’ll help choose the right approach based on loads, soil conditions, drainage runs and Building Regs requirements.
