Whether you’re planning a garden room, retaining wall or home extension, the foundation is what protects the investment. We install strip foundations, pad foundations, raft foundations and wall footings across SW19, with careful setting-out and accurate levels. Working near Wimbledon Village High Street and Wimbledon Common often means tight access and strict finish expectations—both are built into our method. Every pour is planned around ground conditions, drainage and load requirements.
Wimbledon Village features large detached houses, Georgian properties and luxury apartments, each with different structural demands. Older homes may need deeper foundations where nearby trees influence shrinkable clay, while modern builds may suit reinforced raft solutions for even load distribution. We’re regularly asked to support side returns, garden studios, steps, and boundary walls in Wimbledon, Southfields and Putney Heath. Our team tailors the design to the structure above, not a one-size-fits-all depth.
We start with a site visit, measurements, and an engineering-led recommendation, then provide a clear scope for Building Control. Excavation, spoil removal, formwork, reinforcement and concrete placement are managed as one coordinated package. You’ll get photo updates, tidy edges, and a clean handover ready for the next trade. Homeowners choose us for concrete foundations wimbledon village area because we combine premium workmanship with dependable communication and a 10-year warranty.
Ground conditions around Wimbledon Common can vary, and tree influence can require deeper, reinforced solutions. Access near Cannizaro Park and the Village streets often needs smaller plant, staged deliveries and considerate parking plans. We coordinate with inspectors and follow requirements for concrete foundations in London Borough of Merton, including inspection points before pouring. The result is a foundation that suits both the site constraints and the property’s character.

Costs depend on foundation type, depth, access and spoil removal. As a guide, small pad foundations for posts or a garden structure often start from £800–£2,000. Strip foundations for walls and extensions commonly range from £3,000–£12,000, while reinforced raft foundations can be £8,000–£25,000+. Tight access in SW19, deeper excavations, and engineering requirements can increase the budget.
Most domestic foundation packages take 2–7 working days from excavation to pour, depending on size and complexity. A few pads may be completed in a day or two, while strip footings for an extension often take 3–5 days. Raft foundations typically take longer due to insulation, reinforcement and formwork, often 5–10 days. Timescales are affected by access, inspection scheduling and weather.
Foundations themselves don’t usually require planning permission, but the structure they support might. Most garden buildings and some extensions can be permitted development, though limits apply. Building Regulations approval is commonly required for structural work, and Building Control will want to inspect excavations and reinforcement before concrete is poured. We help you understand what applies in Merton and coordinate inspection stages so everything stays compliant.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our foundation workmanship, covering defects arising from installation errors such as incorrect levels, poor compaction, or reinforcement placement not matching the agreed specification. Materials are supplied to relevant standards, and we follow the engineer’s design and Building Control requirements. The warranty doesn’t cover issues caused by later alterations, extreme events, or third-party work that changes loading or drainage around the base.
We install strip foundations for load-bearing walls, pad foundations for point loads (posts and piers), and raft foundations for wider, reinforced support across poor or variable ground. Options include reinforced steel, deeper trench fills, and wall footings for retaining or boundary structures. Where specified, we can incorporate insulation and damp-proof detailing for slabs. We’ll recommend the best approach after assessing loads, access and ground conditions.
