If you’re planning an extension, garden room or structural landscaping project near Stockwell tube station, the right foundation is the difference between a solid build and future movement. Fine Landscaping installs strip foundations, pad foundations and raft foundations to suit your design and ground conditions. We work across SW9, including routes between Stockwell Park and Oval, keeping disruption controlled and the site tidy. Every pour is set out carefully, reinforced where needed, and finished ready for the next trade.
Stockwell’s mix of Victorian terraces, Georgian houses and post-war estates often brings varied ground levels, tight side access and shared boundaries. We’re used to working on rear extensions and garden structures where space is limited and neighbours are close. Our team understands how older properties can hide surprises such as shallow existing footings or mixed made ground. We tailor the foundation type and depth to what your project actually needs, not a one-size approach.
We start with a site visit, levels and a clear scope, then coordinate engineering where required for reinforced or deep foundations. Excavation, formwork, wall footings and concrete placement are managed as one organised programme, with Building Regs in mind from day one. Homeowners choose us for clear communication, clean working practices and dependable scheduling. All foundation work is backed by a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Working in the London Borough of Lambeth means planning for busy streets, controlled parking and narrow access typical around SW9. Ground conditions can vary between properties, especially near parks and older terraces, so we adapt with deeper digs, additional reinforcement or raft foundations where appropriate. We also allow for party walls, shared fences and close neighbours common around Brixton and Clapham borders. Our method keeps deliveries, spoil removal and concrete pours coordinated to minimise disruption.

Most projects take 2–7 working days from excavation to pour, depending on size and access. A few pads can be completed in a day or two, while strip foundations for an extension commonly take 3–5 days including set-out, digging, and Building Control inspection. Raft foundations can take 5–10 days due to sub-base preparation and reinforcement. Weather, underground obstructions and skip/lorry access can affect timings.
Foundations themselves usually fall under Building Regulations rather than planning permission, but the overall structure (extension, outbuilding or wall) may need planning consent. Many garden projects are permitted development, yet restrictions can apply for conservation areas, listed buildings, or work close to boundaries and drains. For concrete foundations in London Borough of Lambeth, we liaise with your designer/engineer and support Building Control inspections to keep everything compliant.
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 concrete placement. It also covers reinforcement installed by us to the agreed specification. The warranty doesn’t cover structural design errors from third parties, extreme ground movement outside normal conditions, or changes made after completion. We keep records and photos to support quality assurance.

We’ll review your drawings, load points and access constraints, then recommend the most practical build-up for your property. Our aim is a compliant, durable base without unnecessary cost.
