Whether you’re close to Brockwell Park or bordering Herne Hill, we tailor the foundation design and method to the property.
Our process starts with a site visit, levels check and an engineering-led approach where required. We install reinforcement correctly, pour to specification, and prepare for Building Control inspections so your project stays compliant. You’ll get a clear scope, sensible programme and clean working practices to keep disruption down.

Costs vary with foundation type, depth, access and spoil removal. As a guide, small pad foundations might start around £900–£1,800, while strip foundations for a typical rear extension often fall in the £4,000–£9,000 range. Raft foundations and reinforced or deep foundations can be £8,000–£18,000+ depending on engineering and concrete volume. We provide a site-specific quote after checking levels, layout and ground conditions.
Most domestic foundation installs take 2–7 working days from excavation to pour, depending on size and complexity. A small set of pads may be completed in 1–2 days, while strip foundations for an extension usually take 3–6 days including set-out, digging, reinforcement and inspections. Timescales are affected by access in SW2, weather, ground conditions, and whether deeper excavation or drainage alterations are needed.
Foundations themselves are generally part of a wider build, so planning permission depends on the extension or structure rather than the concrete alone. Many garden and home improvements can be permitted development, but Building Regulations approval and Building Control inspections are commonly required for structural works. We’ll help you understand what applies, work to the approved drawings/engineering, and coordinate inspection stages so the job stays compliant in Lambeth.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our foundation workmanship, covering issues caused by installation defects such as incorrect set-out, inadequate reinforcement placement (where specified), or poor concrete preparation/placement. The warranty does not cover movement from unrelated structural changes, extreme events, or problems caused by third-party alterations after completion. We also keep clear records of depths, reinforcement and pour dates to support your build and inspections.
We install strip foundations, pad foundations, raft foundations and wall footings, with reinforced concrete where loads or ground conditions demand it. Options include varying widths/depths, stepped foundations for sloping sites, and deeper excavations where trees or soft ground are present. We can work to your engineer’s drawings or arrange engineering input for complex builds. We’ll recommend the most practical option for access, budget and Building Regs compliance.
