When you’re building near Queensway or upgrading a property close to Hyde Park, the right foundations make all the difference. Our Footings & Foundations service covers wall footings, pier footings and strip footings, delivered with careful excavation and accurate setting-out. We coordinate concrete supply, reinforcement and inspections so your project stays on track. Expect tidy working practices and clear communication from day one.
The Bayswater area has a mix of stucco townhouses, mansion conversions and period flats, often with tight side access and shared boundaries. These properties can demand thoughtful foundation solutions, particularly where neighbouring structures, basements or retained garden levels are involved. We’re used to working on refurbishment-led extensions and garden structures where existing walls and drainage must be respected. If you’re improving a home around W2, we tailor the footing design and build sequence to the building’s age and layout.
We start with a site visit, review drawings and engineering notes, then plan safe excavation and spoil removal. Reinforcement is installed to spec, concrete is poured to the correct depth and finish, and we document key stages for Building Control. Our team works to Building Regs standards and keeps disruption low for occupants and neighbours. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, clean workmanship and a build that’s ready for the next trade.
Working in the footings & foundations Bayswater area often means narrow access, resident parking controls and careful noise management. We plan deliveries and concrete pours around local restrictions and keep sites secure on busy streets near Whiteleys and Paddington. Ground conditions can vary between garden squares and built-up plots, so we follow the engineer’s design and adjust methods for stability and safe excavation. For footings & foundations in City of Westminster, we also coordinate smoothly with Building Control requirements and inspections.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Costs vary with depth, access, spoil removal and the engineer’s reinforcement schedule. As a guide, small wall footings may start from around £1,200–£3,000, while strip footings for a modest extension commonly fall in the £4,000–£12,000 range. Complex sites (restricted access, deeper digs, underpinning interfaces) can be higher. We provide a detailed breakdown after a site visit and drawing review.
Most footing works take 2–7 working days from excavation to pour, depending on size and access. A small garden wall footing might be completed in a day or two, while extension strip footings can take a week including inspections. Timescales are affected by depth, ground conditions, weather, concrete booking slots and Building Control sign-off. We programme the work to minimise downtime before the next build stage.
Foundations themselves are usually part of a wider project, and many rear extensions or garden structures can be permitted development, but this depends on size, location and whether the building is listed or in a conservation area. Regardless of planning, Building Regulations approval is typically required for structural work. We can liaise with your designer/engineer and support Building Control inspections, and we’ll flag any City of Westminster constraints early.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for footings and foundations, covering defects arising from installation issues such as incorrect levels, poor compaction or inadequate concrete placement. It doesn’t cover design errors from third parties, extreme ground movement outside reasonable control, or damage caused by later alterations. We keep records of reinforcement, pour dates and key checks to support accountability and peace of mind.
Options typically include strip footings for extensions, pier footings for point loads, and reinforced ground beams where spans or weak ground demand it. Concrete strength and reinforcement details are set by the engineer, but we can advise on practical buildability, access and pour sequencing. Where needed, we also accommodate services, drainage runs and sleeves through foundations. We help you choose an approach that meets Building Regs and suits your property constraints.
