If you’re planning an extension, garden wall or structural alteration near Tate Britain or around Pimlico tube station, the groundwork needs to be right first time. Fine Landscaping delivers precise excavation and engineered concrete foundations designed for the loads above. We install wall footings, pier footings and strip footings to suit your build and site constraints. Every job is set out carefully, with reinforcement and levels checked before any pour.
Pimlico’s Regency townhouses, mansion blocks and period conversions often come with tight side access, shared boundaries and sensitive structures. We understand how to work around existing services, basements and older brickwork while keeping disruption low. Whether you’re in SW1 near Dolphin Square or closer to St George’s Square, we tailor the foundation design to the property type and proposed structure. This local experience helps avoid common pitfalls such as uneven settlement and poor drainage around new works.
Our process starts with a site visit, measurements and an agreed scope, then we coordinate excavation, spoil removal, reinforcement and concrete placement. We work to Building Regulations and can collaborate with your engineer to confirm depths, bearing strata and rebar schedules. You’ll get clear updates, clean working practices and a handover you can build on confidently. Homeowners choose us for dependable timelines, transparent pricing and workmanship backed by warranty.
Working across the footings & foundations Pimlico area means planning for restricted parking, controlled waste removal and narrow access routes common in SW1. Ground conditions can vary across riverside streets, so we excavate carefully and confirm suitable bearing before pouring. We also factor in party walls, neighbouring structures and service runs typical of mansion blocks and conversions. Where needed, we liaise with City of Westminster requirements and your engineer to keep the build compliant.

Costs vary with depth, access, spoil removal and the engineer’s design. As a guide in SW1, small wall footings might start around £900–£2,000, while strip footings for a modest extension often fall between £3,500–£9,000. Larger or deeper foundations, heavy reinforcement, restricted access, or concrete pumping can push totals to £10,000–£20,000+. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most footing packages take 2–7 working days from excavation to pour, depending on size and access. A small garden wall footing may be completed in a day or two, while extension strip footings typically need several days for dig, inspections and concrete. Timescales are affected by depth, ground conditions, service diversions, spoil logistics, and any Building Control inspection windows. We’ll agree a schedule and keep you updated daily.
Foundations themselves rarely need planning permission, but the structure they support might (for example, extensions, outbuildings or boundary walls). In City of Westminster, constraints can include conservation areas, party wall matters and specific conditions on certain buildings. Building Regulations approval and Building Control inspections are usually required for structural foundations. We’ll help you understand what applies, coordinate with your engineer, and ensure the groundwork is ready for inspection.
Yes. Our workmanship comes with a 10-year warranty covering installation defects in the footings and foundations we build, including issues arising from poor workmanship or incorrect placement of reinforcement and concrete. It does not cover problems caused by structural design changes, extreme ground movement outside reasonable expectations, or damage from third-party works. We keep clear records of levels, reinforcement and pours to support your build and future resale.
We install wall footings, pier footings and strip footings, selected to match your structure, loads and site constraints. Options include varying trench widths and depths, different reinforcement layouts, and concrete mixes suited to exposure and curing conditions. Where access is limited, we can plan for barrowing routes or concrete pumping. If you have an engineer’s specification we follow it precisely; if not, we can work alongside one to confirm the best solution.
