If you’re building near Royal Arsenal or upgrading a plot in Plumstead, the right foundation is what keeps everything above it stable. Fine Landscaping installs concrete bases for extensions, garden rooms, retaining walls and structural landscaping. We design for load, drainage and ground conditions, then pour to spec for a reliable finish. Work is planned to minimise disruption and keep access clear in busy SE18 streets.
Woolwich has a mix of Victorian terraces, converted arsenal buildings and newer apartments, each with different demands below ground. Older properties often need careful wall footing design and depth checks, especially where previous drainage runs or old hardstanding exist. Modern developments can bring tighter access and stricter site rules, so deliveries and pours must be coordinated precisely. Our team is used to working across Charlton, Thamesmead and Abbey Wood with practical, property-specific solutions.
We start with a site assessment, levels and set-out, then confirm the best foundation type—strip foundations, pad foundations or raft foundations—based on loads and soil. Reinforcement, formwork and concrete specification are handled by experienced trades, with Building Regs compliance supported through clear documentation. You’ll get a tidy, well-managed job with transparent updates throughout. Local homeowners choose us because we engineer properly, pour accurately, and stand behind the work.
Woolwich sites can involve variable made ground from historic use, plus drainage routes and services that need careful locating. Around Woolwich Town Centre and near the Woolwich Ferry, access and parking can be restricted, so we plan deliveries, skips and concrete pours to avoid delays. We also factor in proximity to neighbouring walls and party boundaries, common with terraces. Our approach keeps your project compliant, considerate, and structurally sound.

Costs vary by foundation type, depth, access and the amount of excavation and spoil removal needed. As a guide, small pads or wall footings might start from a few hundred pounds each, while strip foundations for an extension commonly run from £2,500–£8,000+. Raft foundations and deep foundations can be £6,000–£20,000+ depending on reinforcement, thickness and ground conditions. We provide an itemised quote after a site visit.
Typical foundations take 2–7 working days from set-out to pour, depending on size and complexity. Simple pad foundations can be completed in a day or two, while strip foundations with multiple trenches usually take longer due to excavation, inspections and formwork. Raft foundations may take a week or more because of sub-base preparation and reinforcement. Timescales are affected by access in SE18, weather, and Building Control inspection availability.
Foundations themselves usually fall under Building Regulations rather than planning permission, but the overall project (extension, outbuilding, retaining wall) may need planning depending on size, location and constraints. In the Royal Borough of Greenwich, additional rules can apply for listed buildings or conservation considerations, especially around historic stock. We’ll advise what’s likely required, coordinate with Building Control, and ensure inspections are booked at the right stages before concrete is poured.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our concrete foundation workmanship, covering issues caused by installation defects such as inadequate reinforcement placement, poor set-out, or incorrect concrete handling. It also includes remedial work where our construction is proven to be the cause of failure. Normal settlement, third-party alterations, or problems arising from undisclosed services/ground conditions are excluded. You’ll receive clear paperwork and guidance on curing and load timing to protect the slab or footings.
We install strip foundations for load-bearing walls, pad foundations for posts and point loads, and raft foundations where ground conditions or layouts suit a single reinforced slab. We also build wall footings for garden walls and retaining structures, with reinforcement specified where required. Options include varying depths, trench widths, rebar mesh or cages, and concrete grades. We’ll recommend the best solution after checking levels, loads, drainage, and access for your Woolwich property.
