If you’re planning an extension, garden room or structural landscaping near Paddington station or Little Venice, the groundwork needs to be right first time. Our team handles excavation, shuttering, reinforcement and concrete placement with careful set-out and tidy site control. We build wall footings, pier footings and strip footings to suit your design and soil conditions. Every stage is documented for Building Control and your peace of mind.
Paddington’s mix of stucco townhouses, mansion flats and modern apartments brings varied structural demands, especially around Bayswater and Maida Vale. We’re used to working on tight rear access routes, basement-adjacent walls and shared boundaries where vibration and movement must be controlled. Whether you’re forming foundations for a new garden wall, steps or a larger build, we tailor depths, widths and reinforcement to the loadings. This is specialist footings & foundations Paddington area work, not a one-size approach.
We start with a site visit, review drawings/engineer notes, then confirm levels, service locations and access. Excavation is carried out safely, spoil is removed responsibly, and concrete is poured to the specified mix with steel reinforcement placed and tied correctly. We coordinate inspections with Building Control and keep you updated with clear milestones. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, clean workmanship and foundations that perform for decades.
Working across W2, we plan for restricted access, controlled deliveries and Westminster parking constraints. Ground conditions can vary near canal-side areas around Paddington Basin, so we allow for drainage, groundwater and careful compaction. Many properties have mature services and older drains, so we scan and expose cautiously before digging. Our footings & foundations in City of Westminster are delivered with practical logistics and compliance built in.

Costs vary with depth, soil, access and the type of footing required. As a guide in W2, small wall or pier footing works often start from £1,200–£3,000, while larger strip footings for extensions commonly fall in the £4,000–£12,000 range. Engineer specifications, reinforcement, spoil removal, concrete volume and Building Control inspections can all affect the total. We provide a detailed itemised estimate after a site visit.
Most domestic footing jobs take 1–3 days for excavation and forming, plus a day for pouring concrete, depending on size and access. Larger foundation runs for extensions can take 4–10 working days including inspections and making good. Timescales are influenced by ground conditions, weather, service diversions, restricted delivery slots, and whether engineering changes are needed once excavated. We programme works to minimise disruption and keep the site safe throughout.
Footings and foundations are usually part of a wider project; planning permission isn’t always required for minor garden structures, but Building Regulations commonly apply where structural work supports walls, extensions or habitable spaces. In the City of Westminster, additional constraints can apply for listed buildings, conservation areas or works affecting party walls. We’ll review your plans, advise what approvals are likely, and coordinate Building Control inspections so the foundations are signed off correctly.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for footings and foundations, covering defects arising from installation issues such as incorrect set-out, inadequate compaction, or reinforcement and concrete placement not completed to specification. The warranty is subject to the foundations being used as designed and not altered by later works. We also keep records of levels, materials and inspections to support any future queries from surveyors or Building Control.
We install wall footings, pier footings and strip footings, with reinforced concrete specified to suit loads and ground conditions. Options include different concrete strengths, steel rebar layouts, stepped foundations for sloping sites, and deeper sections where required near drains or trees. If your engineer has issued details, we build precisely to them; if not, we can help arrange engineering input. We’ll also advise on drainage and making-good around the foundation line.
