Whether you’re adding an extension, rebuilding a boundary wall or creating a solid base for a garden structure, the groundwork must be right first time. Our team delivers footings and foundations across SE12, with careful setting-out and tidy excavation. We regularly work around the Lee Green crossroads and near Lee station, where access and traffic timing can affect deliveries. Expect clear communication, safe working practices and a foundation designed for the load above.
Lee Green’s housing stock includes Victorian terraces, Edwardian semis and many 1930s houses, each with different structural demands and site constraints. Older properties often reveal surprises once you open the ground—shallow historic footings, drainage runs or mixed made-up ground. We tailor solutions for the footings & foundations Lee Green area, including upgrades where reinforcement or deeper bearing is required. If your project borders Blackheath or Hither Green, we’ll also factor in tighter plots and shared boundaries.
We start with a site visit to confirm levels, loads and access, then agree the footing type—wall, pier or strip—before any dig begins. Excavations are carried out safely, with spoil managed responsibly and concrete placed to the correct specification with reinforcement as required. We coordinate with Building Control and work to Building Regs, keeping records and photos for peace of mind. Homeowners choose us for dependable scheduling, neat reinstatement and a 10-year warranty on workmanship.
Ground conditions in the London Borough of Lewisham can vary between firmer natural strata and pockets of made-up ground, especially near older gardens and previous outbuildings. In Lee Green, access can be tight and parking restrictions can affect muck-away and concrete deliveries, so we plan logistics early. We also watch for nearby services, shared boundaries and mature roots around places like Manor House Gardens. This local approach helps avoid delays and keeps inspections straightforward for footings & foundations in London Borough of Lewisham projects.

Costs in SE12 vary with depth, soil, access and the type of footing. As a guide, small wall footings may start around £900–£2,000, while larger strip footings for an extension often fall in the £3,500–£9,000 range. Pier footings can be £250–£600 per pier depending on size and reinforcement. Restricted access, skip permits, and engineered steel can increase totals.
Most domestic footing jobs take 1–3 days for excavation and preparation, plus a further day for pouring concrete, depending on size. For extension strip footings, allow roughly 3–7 working days including inspections and any drainage adjustments. Timescales change with depth requirements, ground conditions, weather, access for mini-diggers, and booking Building Control visits. We’ll provide a realistic programme before work starts.
Footings themselves usually don’t need planning permission, but the structure they support might (for example, extensions, outbuildings or boundary walls over certain heights). Building Regulations approval and inspections are commonly required for foundations, and we help you coordinate with Building Control. We also check practical constraints such as party wall matters, tree root considerations, and any local conditions that may affect excavation and concrete placement.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our footings and foundations, covering defects caused by installation issues such as incorrect levels, poor compaction, or inadequate concrete placement. The warranty is supported by clear documentation of the work carried out, including reinforcement details where applicable. It doesn’t cover movement caused by factors outside our control, such as severe flooding, major structural changes, or unreported underground services.
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 we can include steel reinforcement where engineers require it. Depending on the project, we’ll also plan for drainage runs, service ducts and step footings on sloping sites. We’ll talk you through options and liaise with your engineer or architect to confirm the best design.
