Solid groundwork is what keeps walls straight, patios stable and extensions crack-free. Our team delivers footings and foundations for landscaping structures and small builds across Eastfields, including jobs near Eastfields station and Figges Marsh. We handle excavation, shuttering, concrete pours and reinforcement with a clean, organised approach. If you’re planning a garden wall, outbuilding base or structural retaining work, we’ll set it up properly from day one.
Eastfields’ housing mix means foundations need to suit the property, not a one-size plan. We regularly work alongside Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and newer developments around Mitcham and Streatham Vale, where access and boundary lines can be tight. Older plots may have made-up ground or previous garden works that affect digging depth and bearing. We assess what’s there and specify the right solution before any concrete is ordered.
You’ll get a clear scope, sensible sequencing and tidy site management throughout. We set out accurately, excavate to the required depth, install steel reinforcement where needed, then pour and finish concrete to specification. Where engineering input or Building Regs sign-off is required, we coordinate the details and keep records for your file. Local homeowners choose us for reliable timings, transparent communication and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
Working in the London Borough of Merton, we’re used to narrow side access, shared drives and controlled parking near CR4 and SW16. Ground conditions can vary between gardens that have been landscaped over time and newer plots from regeneration phases, so we check bearing levels and drainage routes before we dig. We also plan deliveries and concrete pours to minimise disruption on residential streets, including around Lavender Park. If inspections are needed, we help you line up the right stages for approval.

Costs vary with depth, access, spoil removal and whether reinforcement or engineering is required. As a guide, small wall footings often start around £800–£1,800, while larger strip footings for an extension-style footprint can be £2,500–£6,500+. Pier footings and pads are usually priced per location, commonly £250–£600 each depending on size and digging conditions. We’ll survey and provide an itemised estimate.
Most garden wall or small structural footings take 1–2 days including excavation and pour, assuming straightforward access. Larger strip footings can take 3–7 working days, especially where there’s deeper digging, multiple pours, or inspections to schedule. Timescales are affected by ground conditions, weather, concrete delivery slots and whether we’re working around existing services. We’ll confirm a programme before starting and keep you updated daily.
Footings themselves rarely need planning permission, but the structure they support might (for example, an extension, outbuilding or higher boundary wall). Building Regulations may apply where foundations support structural work, and inspections can be required at key stages. We’ll advise on the likely route, check constraints such as boundaries and drainage, and help you prepare information for Merton where needed. If in doubt, we’ll recommend confirming before excavation begins.
Yes. Our footings and foundation workmanship is covered by a 10-year warranty for defects related to our installation, including issues caused by incorrect set-out, inadequate preparation, or poor concrete placement. The warranty doesn’t cover movement from external factors such as major leaks, tree root heave, or changes made by others after completion. We also keep records of reinforcement and pour details to support future queries or inspections.
We install wall footings, strip footings, pier footings and pad foundations, using concrete mixes suited to the application and site conditions. Reinforcement options include steel rebar cages, mesh and starter bars for tying into walls or slabs. Where required, we can work to an engineer’s design, including stepped footings on sloping ground. We’ll help you choose the right approach based on loads, soil behaviour, access and the structure you’re building.
