Mayfair projects often sit alongside sensitive boundaries, basements and premium finishes, so foundations must be right first time. We construct wall, pier and strip footings with careful excavation, reinforcement and concrete placement. Whether you’re upgrading a garden structure near Berkeley Square or supporting new walls off Mount Street, we keep the build stable and compliant. Our team plans access, spoil removal and deliveries to suit W1 constraints.
Homes here range from Georgian mansions and palatial townhouses to luxury apartments with shared freeholds. These properties frequently involve party walls, tight side returns and high-value façades where movement can’t be tolerated. We’re experienced with footings & foundations Mayfair area requirements, including working around existing services and historic fabric. When needed, we liaise with your structural engineer to match calculations and detailing.
We start with a site visit, set-out checks and a method statement covering excavation depth, reinforcement and pour sequence. Works are carried out to Building Regs standards, with inspections booked at the right stages and records kept for your file. Concrete is ordered to spec, steel is fixed correctly, and we protect adjacent finishes throughout. Homeowners choose us for dependable engineering, transparent communication and a 10-year warranty.
Working in the City of Westminster means managing tight access, strict parking controls and scheduled deliveries, especially around St James’s and Soho. Ground conditions can vary across W1, so we confirm depths, bearing and drainage considerations before pouring. Many properties have party wall constraints and high-end finishes, so we use protective measures and low-impact methods. We also coordinate Building Control visits to avoid delays on premium programmes.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Costs in Mayfair vary with depth, access, spoil removal and whether you need wall, pier or strip footings. As a guide, small garden wall footings may start from £1,500–£3,500, while larger foundation runs for extensions commonly fall in the £6,000–£20,000 range. Complex sites, restricted access, extra reinforcement or engineered designs can increase budgets. We provide a detailed, itemised estimate after a survey.
Typical footing works take 2–5 days for excavation, steel fixing and concrete pour, with curing time before loading. Larger strip foundations for extensions often run 1–2 weeks depending on length, depth and inspections. Timescales are affected by access in W1, skip permits, weather, unexpected services, and Building Control availability. We schedule deliveries and inspections early to keep the programme predictable.
Foundations themselves usually fall under Building Regulations rather than planning permission, but the overall project (extension, outbuilding, retaining wall) may need consent. In the City of Westminster, listed buildings, conservation policies and party wall matters are common, and conditions can apply near premium streets and squares. We’ll advise what’s likely required, help you prepare information for Building Control, and coordinate with your architect or engineer as needed.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for footings and foundations, covering defects arising from installation, reinforcement placement and concrete works completed by our team. The warranty is supported by clear records, including pour details and inspection stages where applicable. It doesn’t cover structural movement caused by third-party design changes, extreme events or unrelated drainage failures, but we’ll always investigate and advise promptly if issues arise.
We install wall footings, pier footings and strip footings, with reinforced concrete specified to suit loads and ground conditions. Options include different concrete strengths, varied rebar sizes and layouts, and stepped foundations for changes in level. Where access is limited, we can plan smaller pours or pumped concrete. We work with your structural engineer (or recommend one) to choose a compliant, cost-effective design for your property.
