If you’re planning an extension, garden room or structural landscaping project near Streatham Hill station or along Christchurch Road, the foundation design matters as much as the finish. We install strip foundations, pad foundations, raft foundations and wall footings to suit your loads and ground conditions. Every pour is set out precisely, reinforced where required, and inspected to meet Building Regulations. The result is a stable base that protects your investment for decades.
Streatham Hill’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and mansion conversions often come with tight side access, shared boundaries and older drains. We’re used to working around party walls, bay fronts and stepped plots, keeping disruption low and neighbours informed. Whether you’re in SW2 near Telford Park or closer to Tulse Hill, we tailor foundation depth and reinforcement to the structure above. Our local experience helps avoid surprises once excavation begins.
We start with a site visit, levels and set-out, then confirm foundation type with engineering input where needed. Excavation, shuttering, steel reinforcement and concrete placement are carried out with clear checks at each stage, including arrangements for Building Control inspections. You’ll get a tidy site, sensible scheduling and straightforward updates. Homeowners choose us because we combine premium workmanship with practical, local problem-solving.
We know the practical challenges of concrete foundations in London Borough of Lambeth, from restricted parking to narrow access routes common around Streatham and Brixton. Ground can vary across local slopes, so we pay close attention to levels, drainage runs and any made-up ground before committing to depths. Where access is tight, we plan concrete delivery and barrowing routes to minimise disruption. Our approach keeps your project compliant, safe and predictable.

Costs vary with foundation type, depth, access and the amount of excavation and spoil removal. As a guide, small pad foundations for posts or a garden structure may start around £800–£2,000. Strip foundations for an extension commonly fall in the £3,000–£9,000 range, while engineered raft foundations can be £7,000–£18,000+. We’ll assess ground conditions and provide a detailed, itemised estimate.
Most domestic foundation jobs take 2–7 working days from excavation to pour, depending on size and complexity. A few pads can be completed in a day or two, while strip foundations for an extension often take 3–5 days including set-out, digging, inspections and concrete. Raft or deep foundations can take 1–2 weeks. Timescales depend on access, weather, spoil removal and Building Control availability.
Foundations themselves usually fall under Building Regulations rather than planning permission, and many garden and extension projects are permitted development. However, planning can apply if you’re in a flat/mansion conversion, altering the building’s footprint significantly, or working near boundaries with specific constraints. Building Control sign-off is typically required for structural foundations. We help you confirm what applies in Lambeth and coordinate inspections so everything is compliant.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our concrete foundation workmanship, covering defects related to installation such as incorrect set-out, reinforcement placement issues, or poor compaction/finish that leads to failure. Materials are supplied to appropriate specifications, and we follow agreed engineering details where required. The warranty doesn’t cover structural changes outside our scope, extreme ground movement beyond normal expectations, or damage caused by third-party works after completion.
We offer strip foundations, pad foundations, raft foundations, wall footings and deep foundations, with reinforcement specified to suit loads and ground conditions. Options include different concrete strengths, steel rebar layouts, thicker edge beams for rafts, and steps for sloping sites. We can also integrate drainage considerations and service penetrations at the right stage. After a site assessment, we’ll recommend the most cost-effective, compliant design for your build.
