Whether you’re rebuilding a boundary wall or preparing for an extension, solid groundwork is non-negotiable. Our team delivers footings and foundations across W11, with careful excavation and accurate concrete placement. We’re regularly working near Portobello Road Market and around Notting Hill Gate, where access and neighbours demand tidy, considerate site practice. The result is a base that supports your build properly from day one.
Notting Hill’s pastel-painted Victorian townhouses, mansion conversions and compact mews houses often come with tight side returns, older drains and mixed ground conditions. In Holland Park and Ladbroke Grove, we frequently see projects where existing structures need underpinning or new wall footings tied into older masonry. We tailor strip footings, pier footings and wall footings to the load and layout, rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all approach. Where engineering input is required, we coordinate it and build to spec.
We start with a site visit, set-out checks and a clear method statement, then carry out excavation with spoil removal planned around local restrictions. Next comes reinforcement (where specified), concrete pour and finishing, followed by inspections aligned with Building Regs. You’ll get straightforward updates, clean working practices and documentation support for sign-off. Homeowners choose us for footings & foundations Notting Hill area projects because we deliver dependable structure and predictable scheduling.
Working in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea often means restricted parking, narrow mews access and careful noise management. Around Bayswater and Kensington, we plan deliveries and concrete pours to minimise disruption and avoid blocked roads. Ground conditions can vary between made ground and older garden soils, so we adjust excavation depth and reinforcement accordingly. Our approach keeps footings & foundations in Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea compliant and build-ready.

Costs vary with depth, access, spoil removal and whether reinforcement/engineering is required. As a guide in Notting Hill, small wall footings might start around £900–£2,000, while strip footings for a side return or small extension are commonly £3,000–£8,000+. Complex jobs in W11 with restricted access, deeper digs or multiple inspections can be higher. We provide a site-specific estimate after measuring and checking constraints.
For a small garden wall footing, the work is often 1–2 days including excavation and pour. Strip footings for an extension typically take 3–7 working days, depending on depth, ground conditions and inspection timing. Access in Notting Hill mews streets can slow spoil removal and concrete delivery. Weather, unexpected services (drains/cables) and engineering changes can also extend the programme.
Footings and foundations themselves usually fall under Building Regulations rather than planning permission, but the overall project (extension, wall height, basement works) may need consent. Many garden and driveway-related works can be permitted development, yet conservation considerations are common locally. We’ll advise what typically applies in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and help you prepare for Building Control inspections. If planning is needed, we can coordinate with your designer or architect.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for footings and foundations, covering defects arising from installation issues such as incorrect preparation, reinforcement placement or concrete application. The warranty applies when the work is used as intended and not altered by later unapproved structural changes. We also keep clear records and photos to support Building Control sign-off. Materials are covered by relevant manufacturer guarantees where applicable.
Common options include strip footings for extensions, wall footings for boundary and retaining walls, and pier footings for point loads or where trees/services affect excavation. We can include reinforcement cages, starter bars and concrete grades specified by an engineer. Where access is limited, we plan smaller pours or timed deliveries to suit W11 constraints. We’ll recommend the best solution based on loads, layout, soil and Building Regs requirements.
