Response within 24 hours
When you’re planning an extension, retaining wall or new garden structure, the groundwork matters most. Our team delivers footings and foundations designed for stability and longevity, from careful excavation to reinforced concrete pours. We regularly work near Streatham Hill station and along Christchurch Road, supporting projects throughout SW2. Every base is set out accurately and built to suit the structure above.
Streatham Hill’s housing stock often includes Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and mansion conversions, each with its own quirks below ground. Tight side access, shared boundaries and older drains can all influence foundation design and sequencing. We’re used to coordinating with homeowners, builders and engineers on constrained plots, including nearby Streatham and Tulse Hill. That local experience helps prevent delays and avoids costly rework.
We start with a site visit, review drawings/engineering (where provided), then plan safe excavation and spoil removal. Foundations are formed, reinforced and poured with the right concrete specification, with Building Control inspections arranged at the correct stages. You’ll get clear communication, tidy working practices and documentation support for compliance. Homeowners choose us because we build solid bases that pass inspections first time and stand up over decades.
Working in the London Borough of Lambeth often means restricted parking, narrow drives and careful timing for deliveries. Around Telford Park and the slopes near Streatham Hill, levels and drainage can affect excavation and shuttering. We plan access, protect paving and boundaries, and coordinate concrete wagons or pumps to suit the street. Our approach keeps your project compliant while reducing disruption to neighbours.

Costs vary with depth, soil conditions, access and the type of footing required. As a guide, small wall footings might start from £900–£2,000, while foundations for a typical rear extension can often fall in the £4,000–£12,000 range. If piling, deeper excavations or complex reinforcement is needed, budgets can rise. We provide a detailed written estimate after a site visit and review of drawings.
Most footing and foundation packages take around 2–7 working days, depending on size and access. Excavation can be quick, but inspections, reinforcement fixing, shuttering and concrete curing add time. Poor ground, deeper dig requirements, unexpected services/drains, or restricted access near terraced homes can extend the programme. We agree a realistic schedule upfront and keep you updated as Building Control stages are booked in.
Foundations themselves are usually part of a wider project (such as an extension or garden wall). Planning permission may or may not be required depending on what you’re building, but Building Regulations approval and inspections are commonly needed. We can work with your architect/engineer and coordinate with Building Control for the required sign-offs. If there are party wall considerations or restrictions, we’ll flag them early.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for footings and foundations, covering defects arising from installation issues. This includes correct formation, reinforcement placement and concrete works carried out by our team to the agreed specification. It doesn’t cover structural design errors from third parties, extreme ground movement, or damage caused by later alterations. We also keep clear records to support Building Control compliance.
Options typically include strip footings for walls, wall footings for garden and retaining structures, and pier footings where loads are concentrated. We can also install reinforced foundations with rebar cages, starter bars and mesh as specified by an engineer. Concrete mixes are selected for strength and exposure conditions, and we’ll advise on depths and widths based on drawings, ground conditions and Building Regs requirements.
