Whether you’re underpinning a garden room, supporting a rear extension, or rebuilding a boundary wall, the right foundation is what keeps everything stable. We deliver concrete foundations across SW1, working around the constraints that come with busy streets near Victoria Station and Victoria Street. Our team installs strip foundations, pad foundations, raft foundations and wall footings to suit the structure above. Every pour is planned to meet Building Regulations and site conditions, not guesswork.
Victoria’s property mix is varied, from mansion blocks and Georgian townhouses to modern apartments with podium gardens. In Westminster, Pimlico and Belgravia, access can be tight and neighbouring structures are close, so foundation design needs care. We’re used to working with party wall considerations, basement-adjacent builds, and restricted delivery windows. If you need concrete foundations Victoria area homeowners can rely on, we tailor the solution to the building type and load requirements.
We start with a site visit, levels check and a practical discussion about loads, drainage and access. Where required, we coordinate engineering calculations, reinforcement schedules, and inspections so your foundations are signed off smoothly. You’ll get a clear method statement, tidy excavation, correct compaction, and properly cured concrete. Homeowners choose us for concrete foundations in City of Westminster because we combine craftsmanship with compliance and communication.
Central SW1 sites often mean narrow access, strict parking controls and limited storage for spoil and materials. We plan deliveries, concrete pours and waste removal to minimise disruption near Westminster Cathedral and surrounding streets. Ground conditions can vary between made ground and older substrates, so we adapt depth, reinforcement and footing width accordingly. Our approach keeps inspections straightforward and reduces the risk of settlement or cracking.

Costs vary mainly by depth, access, spoil removal and whether reinforcement or engineering is required. As a guide, small pad foundations for posts or steelwork often start around £600–£1,500 each. Strip foundations for a typical garden wall or small extension can range from £120–£220 per linear metre. Raft foundations are usually priced per m² and commonly fall between £180–£350 per m², depending on thickness and steel.
Most domestic foundation jobs take 2–7 working days from excavation to pour, with curing time afterwards before heavy loading. A few pads may be completed in a day or two, while strip foundations for an extension can take a week depending on depth and inspections. Raft foundations typically take longer due to sub-base preparation, formwork and reinforcement. Timescales are affected by access in SW1, concrete booking slots, and Building Control visit availability.
Foundations themselves usually sit within a wider project, and many rear extensions or garden structures can be permitted development. However, City of Westminster rules can be tighter, and factors like conservation areas, listed buildings, basements, or changes near boundaries may trigger permissions. Building Regulations approval is normally required for structural foundations. We’ll flag likely permissions early, liaise with your designer/engineer, and help you prepare information for Building Control and any council queries.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our foundation workmanship, covering defects caused by installation issues such as incorrect levels, inadequate compaction, or poor reinforcement placement. The warranty applies when the foundations are used as designed and not altered by later works. We also document key stages (excavation depth, reinforcement, pour) to support inspections and future records. Materials are supplied to appropriate standards, and any engineering specs are followed precisely.
We install strip foundations for walls and extensions, pad foundations for point loads (posts and steels), and raft foundations where ground conditions or load spread make sense. We also build reinforced wall footings, and deep foundations where depth is needed for stability or to reach suitable bearing strata. Options include different concrete strengths, rebar mesh or cages, and damp-proof detailing where required. We’ll recommend the best layout after assessing loads, ground, and access constraints.
