Solid groundwork is what keeps new walls, extensions and outbuildings performing for decades. Our team delivers footings and foundations for homeowners across SE15, with careful set-out, excavation and concrete placement. If you’re near Peckham Rye Park or Queen’s Road, we’ll plan access and deliveries to minimise disruption. Every job is engineered to suit the load and the ground, not a one-size approach.
Peckham’s mix of Victorian terraces, Georgian houses and converted warehouses often means varied substructures and tight side access. In Nunhead and Camberwell, we regularly work around shared boundaries, party walls and existing drains. We design the right solution—wall footings, strip footings or pier footings—based on the intended structure and soil conditions. The result is a dependable base that supports your build and protects your investment.
We start with a site visit, levels and a clear scope, then confirm depths, reinforcement and concrete specification before digging begins. Our process covers excavation, spoil removal, formwork where needed, steel reinforcement and clean pours, with inspections arranged for Building Control. You’ll get tidy working practices, straightforward updates and documentation for compliance. Homeowners choose us for footings & foundations Peckham area projects because we combine craftsmanship with engineering-led detail.
Working in the London Borough of Southwark often means narrow streets, controlled parking and limited storage for spoil and materials. Around East Dulwich and SE15 terraces, we plan for restricted access, shared alleys and nearby services before excavation starts. Ground conditions can vary even street to street, so we adjust footing depths and reinforcement accordingly. We also coordinate deliveries to avoid congestion near hotspots like Peckham Library and busy high streets.

Costs vary with depth, access, spoil removal and the footing type. As a guide in Peckham, small wall footings may start around £1,200–£2,500, while strip footings for a modest extension are often £4,000–£9,000. Pier footings and reinforced designs can be higher, especially with poor access or deeper digs. We provide a site-specific quote after checking levels, loads and ground conditions.
Most domestic footing jobs take 1–3 days for excavation and preparation, then concrete pouring is typically completed the same day once ready. For an extension footprint, allow around 3–7 working days including spoil removal, reinforcement, inspections and curing time before building continues. Timescales depend on access in SE15, weather, ground conditions, and whether Building Control needs staged inspections at key points.
Footings and foundations themselves usually fall under Building Regulations rather than planning permission, especially for rear extensions, garden walls and outbuildings. However, planning may be required depending on size, height, proximity to boundaries, or if the property is affected by restrictions. In the London Borough of Southwark we’ll help you check the requirements, liaise with Building Control, and ensure inspections and paperwork are in place.
Yes. Our workmanship on footings and foundations comes with a 10-year warranty, covering defects caused by installation issues such as incorrect reinforcement placement, inadequate concrete specification, or poor workmanship. It doesn’t cover structural movement caused by external factors outside our control (for example, major leaks, tree removal effects, or changes made by others). We also document what’s installed for clarity and future reference.
We commonly install strip footings for extensions, wall footings for boundary and retaining walls, and pier footings where loads are concentrated or ground conditions demand it. Options include different concrete strengths, reinforced cages, trench-fill approaches, and engineered solutions where required. We’ll advise on the best specification after assessing loads, soil, drainage runs and access, so your build is compliant, efficient and built to last.
