Whether you’re supporting a new garden wall, extension or outbuilding, solid groundwork is non-negotiable. Our team delivers footings & foundations in Southfields area with careful setting-out, clean excavation and properly specified concrete. We regularly work around SW18, including routes near Southfields tube station and the edges of Wimbledon Park. The result is a stable base that helps prevent movement, cracking and costly remedial work.
Southfields homes often include Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and 1930s semis, each with different loading needs and access constraints. We tailor wall footings, strip footings or pier footings to suit the structure, soil conditions and boundary positions. Where required, we coordinate with engineers for calculations and reinforcement schedules. This is why homeowners choose our footings & foundations in London Borough of Wandsworth for projects that must pass inspection first time.
We start with a site visit, discuss your build, then confirm depths, widths and reinforcement before any dig begins. Our process includes safe excavation, tidy spoil management, accurate levels, steel fixing and quality concrete placement. We work to Building Regulations and can liaise with Building Control to keep everything moving smoothly. With clear communication and a 10-year warranty, local clients value our dependable, no-shortcuts approach.
In Southfields, access can be tight on residential streets, especially near King George's Park and around the Southfields Grid. We plan deliveries, parking and spoil removal to reduce neighbour impact and keep the site compliant. Ground conditions can vary across SW18, so we adjust excavation depth and reinforcement to match the build and any engineer’s notes. If party walls or boundaries are close, we use careful sequencing to protect adjacent structures.

Costs vary with footing type, depth, access and spoil removal. As a guide, small wall footings may start around £900–£1,800, while strip footings for an extension commonly range from £3,500–£8,500. Pier footings or reinforced designs can be higher, especially where deeper digs or engineering details are needed. We provide a site-specific quote after checking levels, ground and Building Control requirements.
Most projects take 1–3 days for excavation and setting-out, plus 1 day for steel fixing (if required) and concrete pour. Larger extension footprints can take 4–7 working days depending on depth, weather, access and spoil logistics. Timescales can also be affected by Building Control inspections and any engineer amendments. We’ll give a clear programme before starting and keep you updated daily.
Footings themselves rarely need planning permission, but the structure they support (extension, outbuilding, retaining wall) may. In most cases, Building Regulations approval is the key requirement, and Building Control will want to inspect excavation depth and reinforcement before concrete is poured. We help you understand what applies in the London Borough of Wandsworth and can coordinate inspection timing so your project doesn’t stall.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for footings and foundations, covering defects arising from installation issues such as incorrect levels, poor concrete placement or inadequate fixing to the agreed specification. It doesn’t cover movement caused by external factors outside our control (for example, major leaks, tree-related subsidence or structural changes by others). We also keep records and photos to support handover and inspections.
Common options include strip footings for extensions, wall footings for garden and boundary walls, and pier footings for posts, pergolas or lighter structures. We can also install reinforced concrete where engineers specify steel cages or mesh, and we’ll advise on concrete grades to suit ground and load. After a site visit, we recommend the most appropriate design based on soil, access, drainage and Building Regs.
