If you’re building an extension, garden room or boundary wall near Stockwell tube station, the groundwork matters as much as the finish. Fine Landscaping delivers footings and foundations that support structures properly and reduce the risk of movement or cracking. We carry out excavation, set out accurately, and pour concrete to specification. Homeowners across SW9 rely on us for tidy sites and dependable results.
Stockwell’s mix of Victorian terraces, Georgian houses and post-war estates often comes with tight side access and shared boundaries. That means foundations must be planned around neighbouring structures, existing drains and party wall considerations. We regularly work between Stockwell Park and the Oval/Brixton borders, adapting methods to suit each plot. Whether it’s a small wall footing or a deeper foundation for a new outbuilding, we tailor the design and build sequence.
Our process starts with a site visit, levels, and a clear scope for excavation depth, reinforcement and concrete strength. Where required, we coordinate engineering input and work to Building Regulations standards, including inspections at key stages. You’ll get straightforward communication, safe working practices and careful reinstatement around the garden. Many local homeowners choose us because we’re nearby (about 15 minutes away) and we stand behind our workmanship.
In the footings & foundations Stockwell area, access can be tight and parking restrictions are common, so we plan deliveries and muck-away carefully. Ground conditions can vary across the London Borough of Lambeth, so we confirm depths and bearing strata before pouring. We’re used to working around older Victorian drainage runs and shared party walls. That local experience helps avoid delays and keeps foundations compliant and practical.

Costs vary with depth, access, spoil removal and whether steel reinforcement or engineering is required. As a guide, small wall footings might start around £900–£2,000, while foundations for a garden room or extension commonly fall in the £3,000–£9,000 range. Complex sites (restricted access, deeper digs, underpinning risk, or multiple inspections) can be higher. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit in SW9.
Most projects take 1–3 days for excavation and forming, plus 1 day for the concrete pour, with curing time before heavy loading. Larger extension foundations can take 4–10 working days depending on trench lengths, depth, and reinforcement. Timescales are affected by access, weather, hidden services, and Building Control inspection scheduling. We plan the sequence so you know when each stage will happen.
Footings and foundations are usually part of a wider build, and many garden structures or small extensions may fall under permitted development. However, Building Regulations approval is commonly required for structural work, and Lambeth Building Control may need to inspect excavations before concrete is poured. If you’re near boundaries, party wall matters can also apply. We’ll advise what’s likely needed and help you prepare for inspections and compliance.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for footings and foundations, covering defects arising from installation issues such as incorrect placement, poor compaction, or improper reinforcement positioning. It’s designed to give homeowners confidence that the base will perform as intended under normal use. Materials are installed to specification and any manufacturer warranties apply where relevant. We also keep clear records of stages and photos for peace of mind.
Common options include strip footings for walls, pier footings for posts and decks, and reinforced foundations where loads or ground conditions demand it. We can also form pads, ground beams, and stepped foundations on sloping sites. Concrete strength, rebar sizing, and trench depth are chosen based on structure and ground. We’ll talk through the build, access and budget, then align the design with engineering and Building Regs requirements.
