Knightsbridge projects demand precision, especially close to Harrods and the mansion blocks around SW3. Whether you’re supporting a new garden wall, a rear extension or structural landscaping, the footing design needs to match the ground and the load. We install wall footings, pier footings and strip footings with careful excavation and robust concrete pours. Every stage is planned to protect neighbouring structures and finishes.
Local properties range from period townhouses in Belgravia to ultra-luxury apartments near Hyde Park and SW7. These buildings often come with tight access, sensitive boundaries and high expectations for cleanliness and control. Our footings & foundations Knightsbridge area service is tailored to confined courtyards, basement-adjacent gardens and shared party-wall conditions. We coordinate around concierge rules, delivery windows and premium external materials.
We start with a site visit, levels and load considerations, then confirm footing type, depth and reinforcement requirements. Excavation is carried out safely, spoil is managed responsibly, and concrete is placed to specification with the correct rebar and cover. We work to Building Regs standards and can liaise with engineers and Building Control as required. Homeowners choose us for clear communication, meticulous finishing and a 10-year warranty.
Working across the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea/City of Westminster means managing restricted parking, timed deliveries and considerate working hours. Ground conditions can vary, so we confirm depths and reinforcement before pouring. Mansion blocks and period terraces often require extra care around party walls and existing services. We plan logistics to suit SW1, SW3 and SW7 constraints without compromising structural performance.

Costs depend on depth, access, spoil removal and reinforcement. As a guide, small wall footings for garden walls often start from £1,500–£3,500. Strip footings for an extension or structural landscaping commonly fall in the £4,000–£12,000 range, with complex access, underpinning interfaces or engineered rebar schedules pushing higher. We provide an itemised estimate after a site survey.
For a straightforward garden wall or small structure, excavation and pour can take 1–3 days, plus curing time before loading. Larger strip footings for extensions typically take 3–7 working days depending on length, depth, and whether inspections are required before concrete. Timescales are affected by access in Knightsbridge, skip permits, service diversions, weather, and the engineer’s reinforcement details.
Footings and foundations themselves usually fall under Building Regulations rather than planning permission, especially for garden walls and many rear extensions. However, planning may apply where you’re changing the overall structure, height, boundary treatments, or working in a conservation area. Building Control inspections are often required before pouring. We’ll advise what’s likely needed and help coordinate with RBKC/Westminster requirements and any appointed surveyors.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for footings and foundations, covering defects arising from installation issues such as incorrect concrete placement, inadequate compaction, or reinforcement not installed as specified. It’s designed to give peace of mind for structural landscaping and associated builds. The warranty doesn’t cover movement caused by external factors like major leaks, tree root changes, or third-party alterations, but we’ll always investigate concerns promptly.
We install wall footings, pier footings and strip footings, selected to suit loads, spans and ground conditions. Concrete mixes can be specified for strength and exposure, and reinforcement can range from standard rebar cages to engineer-designed schedules. Where needed, we can incorporate starter bars for walls, drainage considerations and service sleeves. We’ll recommend the best option after assessing access, levels, and the structure you’re supporting.
