Whether you’re adding a garden room base, rebuilding a boundary wall, or preparing for an extension, solid groundwork is non-negotiable. Our team delivers reliable footings and foundations across KT5 and KT6, with careful excavation and accurate setting-out. We regularly work around Tolworth Broadway and near Tolworth Tower, where access and services can be tight. The result is a stable platform ready for the next trade—without costly rework.
Tolworth’s mix of 1930s semis, post-war houses and newer developments means foundations aren’t one-size-fits-all. Older plots can hide shallow existing footings, mixed backfill, or previous landscaping that needs sensible engineering. We tailor strip footings, pier footings and wall footings to suit the structure and ground conditions. If you’re close to Surbiton, Chessington or New Malden, we’ll factor in neighbouring boundaries and shared access from day one.
We start with a site visit, levels check and a practical plan for spoil removal, deliveries and safe access. Excavation is carried out to the specified depth, then we install reinforcement where required before pouring quality concrete. We coordinate with Building Control for inspections and keep everything documented for your records. Homeowners choose Fine Landscaping because we turn up when we say we will, keep the site tidy, and build to last.
Working in the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, we’re used to residential streets where parking, skips and concrete deliveries need planning. Tolworth plots often include made ground from past landscaping, plus services running close to boundaries. We adapt excavation methods to minimise disruption and keep neighbours on side. If access is limited near King George's Field or busier routes, we schedule pours and collections to avoid delays.

Costs vary with depth, soil conditions, access and the amount of concrete and steel required. As a guide, small wall footings might start around £900–£1,800, while larger strip footings for an extension can be £3,500–£9,000+. Pier footings and reinforced foundations typically sit mid-to-high range. We’ll survey in Tolworth and provide a clear breakdown for excavation, spoil removal, concrete and reinforcement.
Most domestic footing jobs take 1–3 days for excavation and preparation, with concrete poured the same day or shortly after. Larger foundations for extensions can take 4–10 working days depending on depth, reinforcement, weather and access for machinery. Building Control inspections can add waiting time if slots are limited. We plan the sequence carefully so the next stage of your build isn’t held up.
Footings and foundations themselves usually fall under Building Regulations rather than planning permission, especially when they support an extension, wall or outbuilding. Many garden structures can be permitted development, but rules change with height, proximity to boundaries and listed or protected sites. We’ll advise what’s likely needed in Kingston upon Thames and coordinate with Building Control for inspections and compliance, so you have the right sign-offs.
Yes. Our workmanship comes with a 10-year warranty covering defects caused by installation issues, such as incorrect preparation, poor concrete placement or reinforcement errors. It’s designed to give homeowners confidence that the base of the project is sound. The warranty doesn’t cover damage from third-party alterations, extreme ground movement outside normal expectations, or issues caused by changes to the design after completion. We’ll explain coverage clearly before work starts.
We install strip footings, pier footings and wall footings, with concrete mixes chosen to suit the specification and ground conditions. Where required, we include steel reinforcement, mesh or rebar cages, plus shuttering for clean edges. Depth and width are set by Building Regs guidance and any engineer’s calculations. We’ll help you choose the most suitable approach based on load, nearby trees, drainage runs and access constraints.
