Solid groundwork is what keeps walls, extensions and outdoor structures stable for decades. Our team delivers wall footings, pier footings and strip footings across SE23, with careful excavation and accurately placed concrete. We regularly work near Honor Oak Park station and around One Tree Hill, where levels and access can change quickly between streets. Every job is planned to suit your site and the load it needs to carry.
Honor Oak’s hilly streets and mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and 1930s semis often demand tailored foundation solutions. Older properties can have shallow existing footings, varied ground made-up, or tight side access that affects excavation methods. We assess the structure, proposed loads and ground conditions before recommending the right footing type. If you’re close to Forest Hill, Brockley or Nunhead, we’ll factor in typical boundary constraints and shared walls too.
Our process starts with a clear site survey, service checks, and a method statement for safe digging and spoil removal. We install reinforcement to specification, pour concrete to the correct depth and width, and coordinate inspections for Building Regs where required. You’ll get straightforward updates, tidy working practices, and documentation you can pass to your builder or engineer. Local homeowners choose us because we combine premium finishing with foundations done properly, first time.

Costs depend on depth, access, spoil removal and the foundation type. As a guide in SE23, small wall footings often start around £900–£2,000, while larger strip footings for extensions can range from £3,500–£9,000+. Pier footings typically sit between £1,500–£4,500 depending on quantity and depth. Engineering design, Building Control inspections and concrete volume can shift the total.
Most footing jobs take 1–3 days for excavation, forming and pouring, with larger foundation runs taking 3–7 days. Timescales depend on access for machinery, the amount of spoil to remove, and whether deeper digs are needed due to ground conditions. Weather can affect pours and curing, and Building Control inspection timing can add a short wait. We schedule work to keep your build moving.
Footings and foundations themselves usually sit within permitted development when they support works that are permitted, but planning can apply for extensions, boundary walls, or if your property has restrictions. Building Regulations approval is commonly required for structural foundations, and inspections may be needed at key stages. We’ll advise what’s likely for your project in the London Borough of Lewisham and coordinate with your builder, engineer and Building Control as needed.
