Ground conditions vary around Croham Hurst Woods and the wider CR2 area, so we don’t assume one depth fits all. We plan for access, parking and spoil removal on residential roads, and we protect driveways and paths during excavation. Our team is used to working around existing services, mature trees and tight side returns common in South Croydon properties. For footings & foundations in London Borough of Croydon, we adapt the method to the site, not the other way round.

Costs depend on depth, soil type, access, spoil removal and whether engineering reinforcement is required. As a guide, small wall footings may start from £900–£2,000, while larger strip footings for an extension can range from £3,500–£9,000+. Pier footings for garden rooms often fall around £1,500–£4,000. We provide a site-specific quote after checking levels, services and Building Control needs.
Most straightforward footing jobs take 1–3 days, including excavation and concrete pour. Larger foundations for extensions or complex retaining walls typically take 4–10 working days, especially if there are multiple inspections or significant spoil to remove. Timescales are affected by access for machinery, weather, the need for engineering details, and any surprises such as old drains or weak ground that requires deeper dig or extra reinforcement.
Footings themselves rarely need planning permission, but the structure they support might. Many garden walls, outbuildings and minor works can be permitted development, yet extensions and some boundary changes may require planning consent. Separately, Building Regulations often apply to structural work, and Building Control inspections are common for foundations. We’ll advise what’s likely for your project and help you check requirements with the London Borough of Croydon.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for footings and foundations, covering defects caused by installation issues such as incorrect levels, poor compaction, or improper concrete placement. It’s designed to give homeowners confidence that the base has been built properly for the intended load. The warranty doesn’t cover movement caused by external factors like flooding, tree root heave, or changes to the structure above without proper design checks.
Options include strip footings for continuous walls, reinforced trench-fill foundations, and pier footings for garden rooms or deck supports. We can incorporate steel reinforcement, starter bars, and engineered details where required. Concrete mixes are selected to suit exposure and load, and we can use formwork for clean edges and accurate dimensions. We’ll recommend the best approach after assessing ground conditions, access, and what you’re building.
