From boundary walls to home extensions, strong groundworks are what keep everything above stable. Our team delivers structural footings and foundations across SW20, with careful excavation and accurate setting-out. We’re often working near Raynes Park station and routes towards Wimbledon, where access and neighbour considerations matter. Every job is built around the loads, soil conditions and the build you’re planning.
Raynes Park has a mix of 1930s semis, Victorian terraces and Edwardian houses, and each property type brings different foundation challenges. Older terraces may need careful underpin-style sequencing for adjacent structures, while 1930s homes often suit strip footings for extensions and garden rooms. We also work across nearby New Malden and Motspur Park, where plot layouts and shared boundaries can influence footing design. Our approach is always engineered and proportionate—no over-digging, no shortcuts.
We start with a site visit, levels check and a clear scope for wall footings, pier footings or strip footings. Excavations are kept neat and safe, reinforcement is installed to specification, and concrete is poured and finished with proper curing in mind. We coordinate inspections and documentation for Building Regs where required, keeping your project moving. Homeowners choose us for consistent communication, clean working practices and dependable results.
As a footings & foundations Raynes Park area contractor, we plan for tight driveways, shared side access and parking constraints common around SW20 streets. Ground conditions can vary across the London Borough of Merton, so we adjust excavation depth, reinforcement and concrete specification to suit the site. We also schedule works with neighbour considerations in mind, especially for terraces and close boundaries. Where inspections are needed, we help coordinate timings and keep records organised.

Costs vary with depth, soil, access and the type of foundation. As a guide, small wall footings might start from £900–£2,000, while foundations for a modest extension commonly fall around £4,000–£12,000. Larger or deeper excavations, engineered reinforcement, restricted access near SW20 terraces, and spoil removal can increase costs. We provide a detailed breakdown after a site visit.
Many wall or pier footing jobs take 1–3 days, while extension strip footings often take 3–7 working days including excavation, steel fixing and concrete pour. Timescales depend on access, weather, ground conditions, inspection availability and whether we’re working around existing services. Concrete curing time can also affect when the next trade can build on top. We’ll outline a realistic programme before starting.
Foundations themselves usually fall under Building Regulations rather than planning permission, but the overall project (extension, outbuilding or boundary wall) may need planning depending on size and location. In the London Borough of Merton, Building Control inspections are often required at key stages such as excavation and reinforcement before pouring concrete. We’ll advise what applies to your project and help you prepare the right information for compliance.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our footings and foundations workmanship, covering defects arising from installation issues such as incorrect preparation, reinforcement placement or concrete works. It’s designed to give homeowners confidence that the base of the build has been done properly. The warranty doesn’t cover structural movement caused by unrelated building defects, extreme events, or changes to loading after completion. We keep job records to support any queries.
Options typically include strip footings for extensions, pier footings for posts and pergolas, and wall footings for boundary and retaining walls. Concrete mixes can be specified for ground conditions, and reinforcement (rebar or mesh) is added where engineering requires it. We can also incorporate steps in foundations for sloping gardens and detail around existing drains or services. We’ll recommend the most suitable solution after assessing your site and plans.
