Whether you’re adding a garden room, retaining wall or extension, the groundwork needs to be right first time. Our team delivers engineered wall footings, pier footings and strip footings across TW1 and TW2. We regularly work near Twickenham Stadium and along routes towards St Margarets, where access and neighbours require tidy, considerate working. Expect clear communication, safe excavations and accurate setting-out.
Twickenham’s housing stock ranges from Victorian villas and Edwardian houses to 1930s family homes, each with different foundation demands. Older properties can reveal shallow existing footings, mixed ground and legacy drainage runs that need careful management. We plan footing depths and reinforcement to suit the structure and soil conditions, then coordinate with Building Control for inspections. If you’re in Whitton or Teddington, we’ll also factor in drive access, skips and concrete delivery logistics.
We start with a site visit, levels check and a practical build plan that matches your drawings and engineering notes. Excavation is carried out safely, spoil removed efficiently, and steel reinforcement installed to spec before concrete is poured and finished cleanly. We book inspections at the right stages and keep photo records for your file. Homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, straightforward pricing and a 10-year warranty on our foundation work.
In the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, access can be tight on residential streets and parking restrictions are common, so we plan deliveries and spoil removal carefully. Twickenham plots often have mature gardens and existing services, so we scan and hand-dig where needed. Near riverside areas and older homes, ground conditions can vary, making correct excavation and compaction essential. Our approach adapts to each site so footings & foundations Twickenham area projects stay compliant and stable.

Costs vary with size, depth, access and the engineer’s design. As a guide, small wall footings for garden structures often start from £1,200–£3,000. Strip footings for an extension are commonly £4,000–£12,000+, especially where deeper digs, more spoil removal or extra reinforcement is required. We provide a detailed breakdown after a site visit and review of drawings.
Most footing jobs take 2–7 working days from excavation to pour, depending on length, depth and site access. Larger foundations for extensions can take 1–2 weeks, particularly if there are multiple pours, complex reinforcement, or restricted concrete wagon access. Timescales also depend on Building Control inspection availability and weather. We programme the work so the next trade can start promptly.
Footings and foundations themselves don’t usually require planning permission, but the structure they support might. Most garden walls, outbuildings and some extensions can be permitted development, while others need an application. Regardless, Building Regulations approval is commonly required for structural foundations, with inspections at key stages. We’ll help you confirm what applies for your address and coordinate with Building Control as needed.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for footings and foundations, covering defects arising from installation issues such as incorrect levels, poor compaction, or reinforcement not fixed to specification. It also covers problems linked to our concrete placement and finishing. The warranty does not cover structural movement caused by factors outside our control, such as major leaks, tree removal effects, or changes to the design by others.
Common options include strip footings for walls, pier footings for posts and point loads, and reinforced foundations where ground conditions or loads demand it. We can install steel reinforcement cages, starter bars and holding-down bolts to suit your build. Concrete mixes can be specified for strength and exposure conditions. We work from your engineer’s drawings, then advise on practical details like access, pour sequencing and levels.
