From new garden walls to extension bases, our footings and foundations work in CR0 is designed to carry loads safely and prevent movement. We regularly work near Addiscombe tram stop and along routes towards East Croydon, where access and neighbour considerations matter. Expect careful excavation, clean spoil management and accurate setting-out. Every pour is planned to suit your structure and the ground below it.
Addiscombe has a mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and 1930s semis, each with different ground levels, drainage layouts and boundary constraints. We’re used to tight side passages, shared drives and shallow service runs that can affect footing depth and positioning. Whether you’re rebuilding a tired boundary wall or starting a new garden room, we tailor the foundation design to the property’s age and layout. That local experience helps avoid delays once digging begins.
Our process starts with a site visit, measurements and a clear scope covering wall footings, pier footings or strip footings. We excavate safely, install reinforcement where required, and pour quality concrete to the specified depth and width. Where Building Control is needed, we coordinate inspections and document what’s been installed. Homeowners choose us for straightforward communication, tidy workmanship and foundations that are built to last.
Working in the London Borough of Croydon, we plan for varied ground conditions and the practicalities of residential streets in CR0. Near parks such as Ashburton Park, access can be narrow and parking can be limited, so we schedule deliveries and muck-away efficiently. Older properties may have legacy drainage runs or shallow services, so we scan, hand-dig where needed, and adjust excavation methods. The result is compliant groundwork without unnecessary disruption.

Costs vary with depth, soil type, access and the footing type (strip, pier or wall footings). As a guide, small wall footings might start from around £900–£2,000, while foundations for a small extension can commonly range £3,500–£9,000+. Engineering input, reinforcement, concrete volume, spoil removal and Building Control inspections can move the figure up or down. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most wall footings are completed in 1–3 days, depending on length and access. For extension foundations, typical timescales are 3–7 working days from excavation to pour, plus curing time before building continues. Delays can be caused by poor weather, unexpected ground conditions, locating services, or waiting for Building Control inspections. We plan the sequence carefully and keep you updated at each stage.
Foundations themselves rarely need planning permission, but the structure they support (extension, outbuilding, boundary wall) may fall under permitted development or require an application. Building Regulations approval is often required for structural works, and Building Control may need to inspect excavations before concrete is poured. We’ll advise what’s likely to apply in the London Borough of Croydon, help prepare the right information, and schedule inspections to avoid hold-ups.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for footings and foundations, covering defects arising from installation issues such as incorrect preparation, reinforcement placement or pour quality. It’s designed to give peace of mind once the build progresses and loads are applied. The warranty doesn’t cover problems caused by later alterations, extreme events, or issues outside our scope (for example, leaking drains undermining ground). We’ll explain coverage clearly in writing.
Common options include strip footings for walls and extensions, pier footings for point loads, and wider wall footings where ground is softer or loads are higher. We can include steel reinforcement, trench fill concrete, or stepped foundations on sloping sites. Design choices depend on your structure, soil conditions and Building Regs requirements, and sometimes an engineer’s specification. We’ll recommend the most practical, compliant option for your Addiscombe project and budget.
