Canary Wharf projects demand precision, especially around E14 where access, loadings and neighbouring structures matter. We install wall footings, pier footings and strip footings for garden walls, terraces, outbuildings and structural landscaping. Working near One Canada Square and Crossrail Place often means careful logistics and noise-aware scheduling. Our team delivers clean excavations, accurate set-outs and concrete pours that meet engineering requirements.
Homes here range from modern high-rise apartments and waterfront developments to premium penthouses on the Isle of Dogs. These properties often include podium gardens, balconies, roof terraces and landscaped communal areas that need engineered foundations. We’re experienced with tight service corridors, basement parking constraints and managed building rules common across Poplar and Limehouse. If your project interfaces with existing slabs, planters or retaining edges, we design footings to suit.
We start with a site visit, levels check and a practical plan for excavation, spoil removal and pour day access. Reinforcement is installed to spec, concrete is ordered to the right strength class, and we coordinate Building Control where required. You’ll get clear updates, photo records and a finish that’s ready for the next trade. Many clients choose us for footings & foundations Canary Wharf area because we combine neat workmanship with engineering-led detail.

Costs vary with depth, access, spoil removal and reinforcement requirements. As a guide, small wall or pier footings might start around £900–£2,500, while larger strip footings for an extension or structural garden build are often £3,000–£9,000+. In E14, restricted access, concrete pumping, and managed-site rules can add to labour and logistics. We provide a detailed, itemised estimate after a site visit.
Most small footing jobs take 1–3 days including excavation, forming and pouring. Larger strip footings commonly take 3–7 days, especially if there’s significant spoil removal or reinforcement detailing. Timescales depend on access in Canary Wharf, service diversions, Building Control inspections, and whether concrete pumping is needed. Curing time is also important; we’ll advise when it’s safe to build on the new foundations.
Footings themselves are usually part of a wider project, and many garden structures can fall under permitted development. However, Building Regulations often apply where structural work supports walls, extensions, retaining features or habitable spaces. In the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, you may also need to follow conditions set by your building management company for apartments. We’ll help you check permissions, liaise with Building Control, and keep the work compliant.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for footings and foundations, covering defects arising from installation issues such as incorrect set-out, inadequate reinforcement placement, or poor concrete workmanship. The warranty is supported by clear records of the build-up, including photos and material details where applicable. It doesn’t cover movement caused by unforeseen ground conditions or third-party alterations, but we minimise risk through careful assessment and engineering-led methods.
We install wall footings, pier footings and strip footings, designed around loads, ground conditions and the structure above. Options include varying widths and depths, reinforced or unreinforced concrete, and additional measures such as starter bars for walls or cages for piers. Where access is tight, we can plan for concrete pumping and staged pours. We’ll advise on the best specification after assessing levels, drainage, and any nearby services.
